How long does trtanus take to begin affecting someone after a puncture wound. i went to doctors for a jab 4 year ago and got wounded last wednesday :(?

3-21 day incubation: The average is about 8 days. If the wound was clean and you recieved a full 3 doses of vaccine, it is unlikely that you will need any further treatment. The following reference is outstanding: http://www.Cdc.Gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/tetanus.Html.
