I am a 13 year old boy. Recently, I got stabbed in the leg by a pencil, and suffered from minor bleeding. I had taken tdap (tetanus) in september 2016 (at the age of 10). Is there a need for me to take any vaccine again?

If the sharp object hits a bone, the bone can become infected. Punctures of the ball of the foot are at greatest risk. The main symptoms are increased swelling and pain 2 weeks after the injury. Though graphite is not very toxic but if any kind of pain, swelling or redness appears then it may cause serious infection.
