Yes, see your doctor: Even though you were unable to be immunized against tetanus because of health reasons, there are passive immunizations that you may receive to protect you from this horrible, possibly fatal illness. I suggest you visit your doctor or ER ASAP so they can give you this medicine as soon as possible. I wish you well, and I hope that helped!
