Don't take tetanus again and again unless lots of dirt has gone in the wound or its a severe injury as told by the doctor. Tetanus injection needs to be taken once every 5 years only.

Don't worry,as long as you have taken injection within 5years you don't need to take another shot,proper wound care will do
