Wash the wound properly and apply Calendula/ Soframycin ointment.

The wound is very mild, no need of taking a TT injection if taken within 6 months .

Based on the photo and the description, this is a very minor, clean injury - a small superficial cut near the nail with minimal bleeding that stopped quickly.
You may need a TT shot if:
Your last TT injection was more than 5 years ago, OR
You are not sure about your vaccination status.
Next Steps
Clean the area with soap and water
Apply mupirocin or fusidic acid ointment twice daily for 2–3 days
Keep the area dry and avoid tight footwear
Watch for signs of infection: increased redness, pus, swelling, or severe pain (unlikely)
Health Tips
TT injection is not necessary unless your last dose was more than 5 years ago.

To be on the safer side take TT vaccination
If last dose was more than 10 years back then better to get complete vaccination
If last dose taken more than 5 years back just get TT booster
If taken within last 3-4 years - not needed

I would suggest you to take a booster dose of tt injection if you have not taken any tt booster within last 5 years.
There are chances of soil or dirt contamination over the wall and there is an open wound with minimal bleeding.
Hence it is advisable for a booster injection
Next Steps
also clean the wound well with soap under running water
Health Tips
avoid dust or dirt exposure to the wound..

If you have taken a tetanus (TT) injection anytime in the last 5 years, you do not need another one. Just keep the area clean and observe. If you have not taken a TT in the last 5 years, then one dose is advisable.

No, you do NOT need a Tetanus (TT) injection for this injury.Here’s why:
Very minor injury (only a tiny bit of blood that stopped in 2 minutes)
Happened indoors (hit against a wall at home) → clean environment is clean, not dirty/rusty/soiled
No deep puncture, no soil/manure/animal bite, no rusty object
Just a superficial scrape or small cut on the toe
