Tetanus injection for cur
Sir
I just had a cut from a steel screw driver in my left hand..the screw driver was not dirty or rusty either. although it did not bleed much but the cut is bit deep..
I had taken last tetanus injection in august 2019 and before that in February 2019 and then in august 2018.. i am not sure of my childhood tetanus vaccination.
Do i need to take tetanus injection for this ?
and if yes, then whithin how long i need to take the injection ?
Thanks
