Tetanus regarding issue
I took a tetanus booster injection yesterday. What i saw was that the doctor accidently touched the tip of the needle of the injection filled with tetanus booster to a wall and then injected it to me without replacing the needle. Their is no pain at the sight of injection and just a mild pain in muscles on rotating mine hand . Can i have any issues in future. And will the tetanua booster still work for 6 months?.and should i take one more ?

Tetanus injection is usually painful. Independent of him touching Th wall(the pain that u experience while moving or rotating your hand). Don’t worry about the potency of injection
