A tetanus shot will be recommended regardless of what pierced your skin. Usually, you would get a tetanus shot after your skin is broken by an object that is unclean or covered in unsanitary solutions like dirt, soil, spit, or feces. Specifically, you will need a tetanus shot if: - The wound was caused by a clean object, but your last tetanus shot was longer than 10 years ago - A wound is caused by a dirty object and your last tetanus shot was longer than 5 years ago - If you are unsure what may have caused the wound, or whether it was dirty or clean, and your last tetanus shot was longer than 5 years ago - Unsure when you have previously had your last tetanus shot - Didn’t get the initial first series of tetanus shots during the primary vaccination series If you need a tetanus shot, contact us today to book yours!
