Actually i've got a very minor scratch on my skin by a rusty pointed iron wire, and about half of a drop of blood came out! will this injury cause me tetanus or not?

The deep injuries contaminated with soil and dirt are likely to cause tetanus. However, as a precaution, we take injection tt for all injuries and no need to repeat if you had taken on in the last one year.
