Stepped on an old tack. barely punctured foot. do i need booster?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If your tetanus booster is around 10 years or older, you need another one anyways. If 5 years or older, you should get at least immunoglobulin for tetanus. It's better to be safe than sorry. See your doctor.
