It's too late. After 72 hours of injury no use. Transmission shot covers immunity for 10 years. So no worries for small cuts.
In future and fyi. Tell everyone as well. Take teanaus vaccine within 72 hours. One vaccine covers for 10 years, but in case of bad and dirty wound injuries they are repeated.
