Hi, I got tetanus injection 11 months back for scratch. Today my arm got scratched by rusty metal, no blood but looks reddish. Do I need to take tetanus injection again?

Injection of tetanus is effective for 6 months. But your injury has no bleeding you can skip it. you can consult me through Lybrate for homoeopathic treatment and further guidance
