Possibly: Depending on the depth, type of injury and cleanliness of the wound. So called "dirty wounds" should be seen and individuals with this type of injury may need tetanus vaccine and possibly tetanus immunoglobulin.

Depends: how the wounds are doing. if there are no signs of infection may not be necessary. however, it is always safe if you have any concerns. wash with soap and water and apply antibiotic ointment and cover them. being 17 your tetanus status shld be up to date. if not check your tetanus status.
