Hello, I have taken a tetanus toxoid injection 1 year ago. Yesterday I got injured (finger with scratch & bleeding) with rough dirty cemented (without paint/white wash) wall during changing CFL of my toilet. Do I need tetanus toxoid injection again?

TT injection booster is recommended to be taken every 5 years. You don't need a shot now.

If you had the complete tetanus vaccinations and the one you received last year was a booster. You don't need any tetanus injection for five years.
