Got pricked by rusted nail

2021-08-29 12:44:59
Hello Doctor, Today I got pricked by a rusted nail & there was no bleeding. The last time I had TT shot was about 8 months back. Do I have to get TT again? If yes, within how many hours of injury should it be taken? Also I have my second dose of Covishield due in 2 days. Do I have to delay that if TT is taken. Please advice.
