Wound appears clean.
If you have not had a TT jab in the last 5 years, then yes.
All the best.

To be on the safer side take TT vaccination
If last dose was more than 10 years back then better to get complete vaccination
If last dose taken more than 5 years back just get TT booster
If taken within last 3-4 years - not needed

I would suggest you to take a booster dose of tt injection if you have not taken any tt booster within last 5 years.
There are chances of soil or dirt contamination over the wall and there is an open wound with minimal bleeding.
Hence it is advisable for a booster injection
Next Steps
also clean the wound well with soap under running water
Health Tips
avoid dust or dirt exposure to the wound..

Based on the photo and the description, this is a very minor, clean injury - a small superficial cut near the nail with minimal bleeding that stopped quickly.
You may need a TT shot if:
Your last TT injection was more than 5 years ago, OR
You are not sure about your vaccination status.
Next Steps
Clean the area with soap and water
Apply mupirocin or fusidic acid ointment twice daily for 2–3 days
Keep the area dry and avoid tight footwear
Watch for signs of infection: increased redness, pus, swelling, or severe pain (unlikely)
Health Tips
TT injection is not necessary unless your last dose was more than 5 years ago.
