2 days before I cut my palm with a nail. Maybe it was rusted but the cut was shallow and it bled. I had my last tetnus booster shot back in June of this year. Should I be worried? Should I get tetnus shot now? Please help me asap

No, you should not get worried if you have completed vasccination at 5,10 and 15 years...because in that case boosters provide a protection for 5 years.
