Do I need a tetanus shot for a small dog bite? Skin is broken but not punctured. A bit of blood but not flowing out (a drop or two that slowly builds up)
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.
Stepped on rusty nail, there is very small puncture wound, and the skin is red. it didnt bleed at all nor does the wound even hurt. I had a tetanus shot 10 yrs ago, and a booster 6 yrs ago. Is that enough?
A small needle stuck inside my toe from under my plastic flip flop. The puncture don't bleed but had a very very tiny black head (a very small black spot).My last tetanus booster shot was 5 years 3 months ago. Do I need another tetanus booster shot?
Should I still get a tetanus shot, if my skin was barely punctured from a rusted metal jagged edge?
