I had injured my thumb three months ago. Then I got tetanus injection done. Yesterday again I got a minor cut on my finger. Should I get injected again now? Is there any problem if I get injected again for safety?

For a minor cut tetanus toxoid is not required. And you have already got vaccinated 3 months back. So not indicated at all.

If primary Immunization is done the booster dose of tetanus is needed every 10yrs.
