A member asked:
A goat came after me. i was wearing jeans and it hit me on the leg with its horn. it didn't puncture my jeans or the skin. should i get a tetanus shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes if time: You should get a tetanus shot if it is 10 years or greater since your last immunization for tetanus. If your skin was broken and you are due for tetanus then you should get one in the next several days.
