Do I need a Tetanus Shot?
I cut myself with a pair of kitchen scissors, a very tiny would which bled just a little. The kitchen knife was clean and dry with just some tiny hints of rust here and there. I had my last tetanus shot 3.5 years ago. Should I get another tetanus shot? If yes, by when? Consider it's been 36 hours since I got the cut.
