Small cut on toe with a clean knife
I had dropped a small kitchen knife (clean) at home while chopping and got about an 1/3rd inch long cut on my toe. I have cleaned the wound with running water, then with a cotton and savlon, then applied some Betadine ointment on it. Bleeding had stopped in few mins. The knife is regularly used and cleaned. I had last taken a TT shot in May 2016. Do I need to take a Tetanus shot for this?
