Vaccination related question
Hi. I got scratched by a cat on April 2021, and took rabis shot along with the tetanus injection that's usually accompanied by the first dose of rabis shot. But today, Oct 02,2021, I cut my hand with a cutter and blood flowed. So I want to get a tetanus shot, but my second dose of covid vaccination date starts from today and runs till last week of October. What should I do? Can i take the tetanus shot and then go for the covid vaccine after one week? Or I can't take two of these shot within the span of 1 month?

Each shot of tetanus will give protection for 4 year. Hence no further shot is needed for you now

No need to take 2nd dose of tetanus. You need booster only after 5 years.
You can take covid vaccine now.
