No additional TT booster is indicated for this wound. booster is generally only needed when ≥5 years for dirty or major wounds or ≥10 years for clean or minor wounds.
Next Steps
Clean the wound thoroughly with soap and running water.
Health Tips
rusty metal itself does not determine the need for a tetanus booster.
