Tetanus injection required

2019-01-17 04:08:21
Hi, my mother accidentally stepped over our cat and the cat scratched her leg & I could see traces of blood very thin and it disappeared instantly. She's diabetic, I managed to clean the area and around with a medical grade sanitizer & applied ointment over it. I was hoping if you can have someone examine this and at least have a tetanus shot given. Is this possible ?
