Tetanus vaccine for cut

2023-06-08 07:02:42
Today morning, a small non rusty iron nail fell on my left leg thumb and pricked (not deep). I just had a drop of blood after that... I cleaned it with dettol.. Just to mention that the nail was pierced in wooden cupboard and while taking it out for reparing, my carpenter accidentally dropped from his hand. My last TT vaccine was in  January 2021 (tentatively sure) , August 2019, February 2019 and August 2018.... Do i need to take TT vaccine now... Kindly advice.. Regards,
