You didn't read the full information on Tetanus vaccination. You get a tetanus shot after 10 years if you have taken a full course of three tetanus injections which includes 2 booster doses.
Please consult a General Physician on Practo for details regarding the schedule of Tetanus vaccination.

You can take TT but small scratch don't need TT usually... Depends on the size of the scratch plus If its from an animal I'd be more concerned about rabies
