Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
The booster dose is taken after 6 months if indicated. In your case since it is a glass piece on the ground it is preferable to take the booster dose. Clean and keep the wound clean and avoid any contaminants over the wound. apply a bandage for the next 2 days and you can remove it after, but regularly clean the wound(daily). If the wound is infected there will be pus which will come from the site of the wound.
If the condition persists or worsens visit the ER at the earliest.
