I was bit last night by my partner and the bite did not draw any blood but there is an small indent of skin that got scraped of and it is now bruised&hurts. Should this be a problem? I got a tetanus shot in the Fall of 2016.

My 9 year old son was nipped by our dog on his finger. There is a little bit of blood. Does he need a tetanus injection if his vaccinations are up to date? Are there any signs to look out for to take him to a doctor?
