Is Tetanus Shot Required After Coming In Contact With Wet Rusted Metal?
My son (2.5) tried to pull a floatation ring off of a hook at the pool today and the hook was rusted and it broke. He wasn t injured but he had rust powder splattered on his face. I wasn t sure if it got in his mouth or eyes so I had him jump in the pool and go under to wash off. Does he need a tetanus shot? He s never had that vaccine.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this was not the wound or laceration cut then it may not need any tetanus shot, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
