Tetanus shot required?

2020-06-04 10:39:55
I have developed a minor but long cut today when I fell on dirty rocks on the beach. I have received atleast 2 tetanus shots in last 5 years (maybe 3-4 also but I only remember 2). Is it recommended to get another one as I'm weary of stepping outside due to covid19. Help. Thanks a lot.
