[|AI|]  Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor with you medical concerns and questions. You are concerned about a recent splinter from a wooden dock. I am glad to hear that you got the whole splinter out. For the splinter itself you do not need a tetanus shot. I would recommend that you review your medical history and if you have not had a tetanus booster in the last 10 years that you get one. Tetanus boosters are only good for 10 years and need a booster. If you have had one in the last 10 years you have nothing to worry about. Hope this answered your question. Please contact Chat Doctor again with your medical concerns and questions
