Stepping on a non-rusty nail, need a tetanus shot?!


Question: Stepping on a non-rusty nail, need a tetanus shot.?
My husband and I are ripping down our front patio. My job was to pick up all the nails so no one steps on them. Of course I just stepped on one. My husband said since it's not rusty I don't need a tetanus shot. Is this true.? I'm freaking out a little bit.

I'm 24 and I believe my last tetanus shot was when I was a baby or young child.Health Question & Answer
