I just stepped on an iron nail and it pricked my foot. It wasn't a deep wound, just bled a bit. I'm not sure about my past vaccinations. Should I consider getting a tetanus shot now?

I've just taken about 100 ml of cough syrup, which means I've had 300 mg of dextromethorphan and 4000 mg of Guaifenesin. Is that dose okay, or should I be worried about any side effects or risks with that amount?
