A. no need of tetanus at this age. if your child has completed the regular vaccination there is no need to go for tetanus vaccination at this age because it is already covered in the national immunisation schedule. if the injury or cut is very dirty enough then the final decision of tetanus vaccine will be taken by the doctor.

A. Yes I believe you should get it done if it is a deep curtain and then you are saying that the thing was rusted also you should not take a chance you should immediately be getting a tetanus injection done for that you can check with your doctor whatever your doctor suggest but I believe you should get it done
