Tetanus injection
Skin of my hand got rubbed against a partially rusted iron rod kept on terrace of my house while lifting it and had a minor wound with a little of skin scraped with slight blood approximately 65 hours ago. I didn't take it seriously. Do I need to take a tetanus injection, I don't remember when I got the tetanus injection last time but I got it once or twice many years ago that's sure. And I also got COVISHIELD vaccination on 26th MAY . Is tetanus injection required?? What should I do? Also it's more than 48 hours that I got the wound or I can get it within 72 hour??? Everything fine although. Should I be worried?

TT vaccination taken within 24 hours after the injury and it is almost 65 h now.
But can take the TT vaccine nothing to worry but at the same time you had received covid vaccine on 26th of May and almost 28 days before from today.
Try to consult the general physician at your local area and discuss in detail and if he decides to give the injection TT then you can take but for the second dose you have to wait for another three months covid vaccination if you get injection TT at present.
