I've taken tetanus toxoid shot 1 month ago. Now a small cut on my finger by rust iron. Do I need vaccine again?

If you have previously taken full dose of tetanus vaccine schedule 3/4 doses depending on type and site. And last dose is booster dose then small clean cut doesn't need a booster. But nevertheless if you have any doubt or want abooster anyway, go for booster as after 4 weeks another booster won't do too much harm. Only minor fever and myalgia.
