Scratch from an iron rod

2021-08-08 17:04:09
I got scratched by an iron rod and a thin line of blood came up at the same scratch. I washed it and then applied Dettol to it. I feel a little swelling there, although no blood is coming out. Should I get the tetanus shot?

If it's been more than 5 years since last tetanus shot, you can take it.
