Hello, Probably no. Confirm with the doctor if there is a clot or pus.

In case of a deep cut/ wound tetanus injection within 24 hrs is mandatory. Cleaning the area immediately with Betadiene solution helps reduce chances of infection. If the needle was sterile then transmission of other infections can be avoided.
