Hello there. I can understand your concern. No you don't need a tetanus injection. Take one after 5 years. As of now just take care of the wound and you can take a tab. Lyser-D Twice a day after food for 3 days. .apply some antibacterial gel over it and you will be fine. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
