Hi,
You had taken tetanus shot within three years.
So you may need not to repeat your tetanus toxoid vaccine again.
Difficult breathing, painful jaw muscle contraction, etc can be symptoms.
Just tightness cannot be called tetanus.
However, it's advisable to consult nearby physician for detailed evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
