I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. You may need a tetanus jab if the injury has broken your skin and your tetanus vaccinations aren't up-to-date. Tetanus is a serious but rare condition that can be fatal if untreated. The bacteria that can cause tetanus can enter your body through a wound or cut in your skin. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
