Wound cut and Tetanua shot

2022-04-04 04:01:49
My husband got a slight finger cut from a rusty old nail but we did not have access to Tetanus shot and it has been 4 days now. Do we need to check up with a doctor now and is there anything to be scared?

You need to get a tetanus shot still if you haven't taken any in last 5 years. If you have taken a shot in last 5 years, just cleaning at the site of injury is required with application of any antiseptic ointment.
