Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Tetanus shot ideally has to be taken within 6 hours of the injury.
Once taken, you need not repeat for 5 years.
Since yours is just 3 months, you don't need to take again.
Just take care of the wound, apply some antiseptic cream.
Best regards.
Dr. Anil Kumar Jain.
