I got a cut with a slightly rusted metal today 3rd Aug 21. I had taken 2 tetanus injections last yr -in sep 21 and oct 21. After that I hv not taken any tetanus injection.
Will the last tetanus injection suffice fir today's cut? Or do I need to take another injection now?

There is a schedule for Tetanus vaccination which involves three injections and the immunity lasts for 5 years. But no one has patience to take those injections.
You may consult me on Practo for the schedule of Tetanus vaccination.
