Should we see a doctor or other health care professional?

Hello, the vaccine against tetanus dates from when you say?

Otherwise the vaccine is given in clsc or in some pharmacies within 3 days.

Disinfect the wound well with soapy water. It is not so much the fact that the screw is not rusty, but rather the environment in which it was. In the case of a penetrating wound, it is the presence of dust, dirt, animal excrement, for example, that increases the risk.

A professional will certainly be able to evaluate the relevance of the vaccine. It should also be seen if the wound requires stitches.
