Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
If you don't remember then you should have gone and got the tetanus shot.
It should be taken within 6 hours of injury.
Already so much time has passed.
There was no need to even ask.
Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
