Is A Booster Needed For A Nail Puncture Injury?
I just stepped on a nail in our driveway from roofing. I think I stepped on the head, not the tip. The puncture is on the calloused part of my heel and did not bleed. It only just barely (if any) broke the skin. I cleaned it with soap and water and had a tetanus shot 7 years ago. Do I need a booster?
