should i get the tetanus shot ASAP?

Question

My tetanus shot is overdue by about 2 months. I went to the nail salon today and i got a small cut/nick on my pinky finger near the cuticle. I bled a little bit too. After 10 minutes the lady put alcohol on it. Am I at risk for getting tetanus? Should I go get the TDAP or is that ridiculous?

Answer

So much you could get from a nail salon….tetanus is the least of your worries.

Answer

I think you’ll be fine.

Answer

My fingers bled after my recent full set, I didn’t even think about a tetanus shot. Should I be worried, got them done on Saturday. She didn’t even put alcohol. My husband stopped by a drug store and got me alcohol pads, antiseptic and bandages afterwards. 2 fingers bled for a few days. Just stopped wearing the bandages today.

Answer

I think the only concern is if it’s rusty metal. You should be fine.
