Is Tetnus shot required ?

2021-11-04 14:59:21
Firstly, Happy Diwali. Finger got scratched by a plastic object. Object was clean. Scratch is so small that it's not visible from naked eye (unless extremely close inspection). Scratch had extremely minor bleeding (not even a drop). Cleaned with dettol + handwash + sanitizer within 2 mins. Do I need tetnus shot ? I haven't taken any tetnus shots in last 5-6 years. Cannot attach picture because it's not visible on finger anymore.
