A member asked:

Hi. cut myself with a knife a week ago. i don't think i have any tetanus symptoms but if had can i get a shot and be ok? thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Booster : when was your last tetanus shot ? Was it within the last 5 years. Was the knife clean ? Would get a booster shot in consult with your primary care doc. If you have a shot in last 5 years you should be ok. Probability of tetanus with a kitchen knife is almost zero.
