“Do I need a tetanus Shot”
I scraped my arm on a broken hinge in my kitchen yesterday. Smallest amount of blood. Cleaned it out with hydrogen peroxide. Do I need a tetanus shot also?

Tetanus Immunization is recommended every 10 years. If you have not had a booster in over 10 years it is highly recommended that you do it as soon as possible. Check your previous immunization records to confirm.
