Depends: Tetanus is produced by germs that exist as spores (eggs) in the dirt worldwide. The contamination of any open wound by these spores allows them to germinate and multiply. They produce a toxic chemical that circulates locally or throughout the body to produce the symptoms of tetanus.If vaccinated, your body is protected from this chemical.If the door had spores on it, you are at risk.

Yes: Its a possibility so you should see your doctor to have the wound checked and update your tetanus. The ER is a good alternative today
