A member asked:

I got a nail scatch . a tiny scatch on hand. i got my anti tetanus toxin and tetanus immunoglobin last year 2019. do you think i need another injection now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: If you had the primary tetanus series when younger & a booster a year ago you are fine. That booster would protect against tetanus exposures for a minimum of 5 yrs & minor exposures up to 10 yrs.
