Since it has been 1 year, you need a full course of vaccination along with serum. You won't need a shot of TT again if you had one last time.
The protocol for re-exposure is:
Exposure within 3 months: Standard wound cleaning and first aid. There is no need for vaccination.
Exposure after 3 months to a year: Vaccination on days 0 and 3 only at 1 site.
Exposure post 1 year: Full course of vaccination.
Health Tips
Do not take this lightly. You need to get vaccination as early as possible.
