No need to take another dose of TT
Why
After a TT (Tetanus Toxoid) shot, your body is protected.
A booster is generally needed only if:
Last TT was more than 5 years ago (for dirty wounds)
Or more than 10 years ago (for clean wounds)
Since you took it just 4 days back, you are already protected ✅
Next Steps
Is the wound clean or dirty (mud, rust, animal bite, deep cut)?
How deep is it?
If it is a very high-risk wound (like deep contaminated wound) and you were never fully vaccinated before, sometimes doctors consider TIG (Tetanus Immunoglobulin) — but that is rare.
Describe the injury a little, I’ll guide you properly.
Health Tips
1-Clean your wounds properly
2-if it bleed do proper dressing
3 -protect it from contamination

If you are already taking TT injections in schedule, you can continue it. A small human bite with bleeding usually needs proper cleaning and sometimes antibiotics.
Next Steps
Wash the wound well with soap and water and keep it clean. Please consult me for proper diagnosis and treatment.
