Is Tetanus Injection Advisable After Being Injured By Broken Glass?
A piece of glass from a broken picture frame was embedded in my foot. It was indoors, the glass was clean and I cleaned my foot and covered it with gauze and tape right away and cleaned my shoe fit good measure. I don t know the last time I had a tetanus booster. Do I need a tetanus shot?

Hello,
It is a category 3 wound and a tetanus shot is a must.
One full course will provide you with protection for five years.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
