Question

do i need a tetanus shot? I put hydrogen peroxide on it. will that clean the wound the last time i had one was on december 12th, 1999

Answer 1

You are ok with the tetanus shot, but plan on getting one next year.  They are good for ten years.

Best thing to do with your finger is to use a bandaid to help keep it closed.  If you have butterfly bandaids around, use one or two of them to bring the skin edges together. If not, a regular bandaid will work.  Make sure to clean the cut twice a day or so until it seals up well.
