Should I get a tetanus injection?
The sewing needle in the attached photo went straight inside my knee few hours ago in a way which I didn't feel any significant pain and there was no bleeding even though the needle was atleast an inch inside. the place it pierced was hard to find until after a few minutes later I have attached pictures of needle and the wound. Do I need to take a tetanus shot? Or anything else? Or is it alright?
Ps. I got my last tetanus shot about 1½ year ago when I cut myself with a rusty cutter.
