I got stuck with a pin from a badge yesterday. my son found it on the floor of his elementary school bus about a month ago. i received my tetanus booster about 7-8 years ago. i cleaned the wound immediately. do you think that i am adequately covered?

About Tetanus shots: For minor wounds, such as being stuck with a pin, a tetanus booster 7-8 years ago is still considered protective. Tetanus boosters are recommended every 10 years, after a child's Tdap shot at age 10-11 years. A child's booster after that can be another Tdap at age 20-21 years. It's fine to get a booster a year or two sooner, if one thinks she might not have a chance to do it at the 10-year mark.
