Yesterday while bathing I got a scratch on the back, by iron handle or wooden door may be, the scratch doesn't seems to be that deep, so should I go for a tetanus injection or not, I am confused.

One should get a tetanus vaccine once in 10 years in any case. So if you haven't received a tetanus shot in last 10 years, it's a good time to get it. If you have revived one- no need for another one.
