A member asked:

Pregnant. small cut under my fingernail. washed a coffee press with some rust on it. any risk for tetanus? last tdap vaccine was 6/7 years ago.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No danger of tetanus: Wash the cut with soap and water thoroughly. Tdap shd cover u from minor wounds for 10 years. Risk for tetanus is negligible. Use neosporin ointment and bandaid and it shd suffice. If still worried show ur wound to a doctor or visit urgent care.
