I had got a very minor injury through a stainless steel scissors ( having almost no rust). Do I need to worry about tetanus...how will I get to know whether it has entered the body( for taking injection)?

Tetanus has no cure. It is a fatal disease. A tetanus antibody level blood test can be done, to check your immunity. However it is expensive and not available everywhere. The best thing to do, If you are in doubt regarding the exposure, is to take the injection. It's not expensive and available everywhere. The injection will provide protection in the future too. Also it always advised to remember your last shot of tetanus vaccination.
