Tetanus needed or not?
Today, my hand got injured by a rusty nail and there was a little blood at the injury site.
But I already had a tetanus for an injury one month ago, do I need to get another tetanus shot?
Thanks in advance.

Patient's detailed medical history is required. It is recommended to consult a doctor professional through the Practo app or visit a local medical facility for a thorough evaluation.
Please keep in mind that detailed medical history is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.
