Hello there. I can understand your concern. If you don't remember then you should have gone and got the tetanus shot. It should be taken within 6 hours of injury. Already so much time has passed. There was no need to even ask. Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore
