If you are within 10 years of your last booster, there is nothing to worry about. If it was a deep enough cut that you need to go in to a provider, they will review your immunization status and do a booster if indicated

Tetanus vaccine if taken twice confers immunity for ten years, so currently you dont need any more vaccination if thats your case.
