I had two tetanus shots about a year and a half ago while I was pregnant. Now, I'm pregnant again and got a small scratch on my finger from a somewhat rusty scissor. Barely any blood came out, but I'm worried. Do I need another tetanus shot, or are the previous ones still enough to protect me?
no problem you have to take
