Tetanus vaccine
I got a very small 1mm scratch when I play tug of war . My parents told I have taken full tetanus vaccine in my childhood which I am not sure. I have taken tetanus vaccine 9 months ago when I got a small scrach with a iron rod. Do I need to take another vaccine. I am an anxious person and want to confirm it.
