Got a cut with rusty scissors

2018-04-22 06:04:43
I was cleaning and oiling a pair of scissors this morning when i got very small cut by one of them on my thumb. Thought they were a little rusty but i have been keeping them in the washroom for general shaving purpose only. I am concerned that should i get a tetanus shot for this or not?
