Hello sir, a superficial scratch without bleeding on metal usually doesn’t cause tetanus.
Since you already had a tetanus shot in March 2025, you are well protected.
No further action needed—just keep the area clean and observe for signs of infection.
I hope it helps you. If more questions are in your mind, you can reach me for a free detailed consultation on WhatsApp at nine one one nine two five five six nine nine.
