Got cut in left leg by a fence
Yesterday i got cut in my left leg from a fence in a farm.The fence was lying on the ground and it rained some hours ago so the soil was wet.It scratched the skin, the wound was not deep and it did'nt bleed much only that type of blood which comes after a cut.
I was cut in my right leg also by that fence but it was not as hard as my left leg.
I havent got any tetanus as of now.
The last time i got tetanus injection was 6 years ago.
Should i go for tetanus?.
