Not taken Tetanus after an accident

2018-04-24 08:46:56
It's been 5 days since the accident happened I've not taken TT. I got the answer that as it's already late no need to worry. I've been cleaning the wound with antiseptic liquid and applying Povidine Iodine ointment twice a day. Is this enough or do I need take anything more.
