Do I need to go get a shot right now?

Question

Ok so I was in my mom's garden, and there was a piece of wood, with a nail sticking up, it didn't look rusty. But I stepped on it, and it went through my flip flop, and the tip of the nail stuck me in the bottom of the foot, it didn't even go into my foot, it just pricked me enough for the bottom of my foot to bleed a tiny bit. Do I need to go get a tetanuss shot?

Answer 1

I suggest washing it out as best as you can and calling your doctor for his/her advice. If you explain what happened, they can find out if you need a shot or not.
