I am 30 years male. I took tetanus shot 8 to 10 months before when I had a cut on my toe from rusty iron. Today small cut happened on toe, with an aluminium sheet. Should I go and take the tetanus shot again? Also, before used to have small cuts on my hands or body etc. Is it required to take the tetanus every time we have a cut on body?
