Tetanus injection
I got a minor wound on my hand with very little bleeding while picking a partially rusted iron rod kept on terrace of my house 2 days ago. I ignored it .
Do i need to get a tetanus injection ,i dont remember when i got tetanus injection last time but i got it once or twice thats sure. And also i got COVISHIELD vaccination on 26 May . Is tetanus injection required?? What should i do .Also it's more than 48 hours that i got that wound. Should i be worried?
