I was vaccinated 15 years ago. i was bitten again by my puppy and had vaccinated with tetanus last week. bitten again today, am i protected from it?

You are from tetanus: If your puppy has other germs in its mouth you can develop an infection from the site. The tetanus booster you had last week protects you for at least 5 years.
