Greetings!
The protocols for a prophylactic TT vaccine has changed in recent times.
If the cuts are minor and in places where it is away from easy contamination, cleaning with soap and letting it heal early is sufficient
If the cuts are deep and prone to contamination, you can get a shot of TT vaccine.
But again early healing is important.
Based on the wound status, antibiotics can be started if needed.
Thank you!
