While trying a glass bangle, I cut my finger as it broke. My wound bled for a while. I applied dettol and put band aid on it. Do I require a tetanus shot? My last tetanus shot was on feb, 2020. Before that I took the shot in sept, 2017 and before that in 2016.

If you took the tetanus vaccine, no need to take it again but if you took only preformed antibodies (anti tetanus serum), you should take a shot now.
