Not taken Tetanus after an accident

Question

Asked for Male, 27 Years

Hi, I met in an accident and got wounds on palm & knees but not so deep. As it was kind of scratches, I did not go to a hospital. I've not taken Tetanus. And not even in 10 years. It's been 5 days since the accident has happened. Please suggest what to do now. I'm literally scared after reading the fatal effects of not taking tetanus.
