A member asked:
I injured with the small stapler pin so it is required to give me tetanus injection for it.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Puncture: If the staple was rusted or contaminated with dirt I recommend a tetanus booster. If it is a very clean staple risk is minimal and if you had a booster within 10 years I feel no booster is needed, but no harm in getting one.
