Hi,
Your vaccination schedule is unknown and tetanus has very high mortality rate so you need to take the tetanus shot.
It can be taken within a period of 24 hours of trauma.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
