Not Likely: It is not likely that you have tetanus.If you have muscle stiffness you should consult your doctor to get relief meanwhile you can try over the counter Motrin or aleve (naproxen) for temporary relief.

Raccoon bite: I agree with earlier answer. Your tetanus status should have been reviewed at the same times your were treated to prevent Rabies. This is likely not related.
