I have had a tetanus shot, and I don't need to take it again for a month. However, if it is more than a month, a second tetanus is required.

It must be shot, and generally tetanus can last up to a year, but if it is a rusty thing, it is recommended to make up for a shot.

I think I still have to get vaccinated just in case, because there is a time period for vaccines, or you can consult a doctor.

Tetanus bacillus is an anaerobic bacterium, a conditional pathogen that grows and multiplies only under oxygen-free conditions or when the wound is deep and accompanied by aerobic infection.
Tetanus bacilli mostly grow in soil and rust, so tetanus antitoxin should be injected when the wound is deeply contaminated with soil or punctured by rust-like iron objects.
You don't describe the extent and depth of the scratches. If you have only been scratched by non-rusty metal and the wound is not deep, you can avoid tetanus antitoxin injections as long as proper debridement is done. If you are really not sure, you can also go to the hospital to get an injection of tetanus antitoxin.
Because tetanus antitoxin is an immune horse serum, which is a heterosexual protein to the human body, and has antigenicity (allergic reaction), an allergy test should be done before taking the drug. If the test result is negative, tetanus antitoxin can be injected directly, and if the test result is positive, desensitization injection, that is, small doses of tetanus antitoxin can be injected in 4---5 times. If you have used tetanus antitoxin for more than a week, if you use it again, you must also redo the **test.
If you still have doubts, it is recommended to go to the hospital to check the insurance point.

Tetanus is a long-standing Clostridium infection, which can be caused by tetanus bacilli invading human wounds, growing and multiplying, and producing toxins.
The deeper and dirtier the wound, the more suitable it is for the growth and reproduction of tetanus bacilli, and the more opportunities for tetanus to occur.
If it is only rubbed through the epidermis and the wound is not deep, as long as it is properly debrided, or rubbed with a disinfectant such as red syrup, it is sufficient, and there is no need to inject tetanus antitoxin; However, if there is a deep wound, or the wound is contaminated with soil, iron embroidery and other pollutants, then it must be beaten. Because tetanus bacilli mostly grow in soil and rust, tetanus antitoxin should be injected when the wound is deeply contaminated with soil or punctured by rusty iron tools. And it is best to get a tetanus shot within 24 hours;
Be sure to get an injection, tetanus is caused by tetanus bacilli, you have been injured by rusty wire capillaries, tetanus bacilli direct contact with the blood is easy to take advantage of. >>>More

The main symptom of tetanus is muscle spasms, which mostly start with the masticatory muscles, then the muscles of the limbs, trunk, and respiratory muscles. Tetanus antitoxin can be injected within 24 hours if tetanus infection is suspected, and tetanus antivenom can be injected beyond 24 hours. Prophylaxis.
Patients infected with tetanus bacilli have an average onset of 6 10 days, the short ones can develop within 24 hours, the elderly can reach several months, and neonatal tetanus generally develops about 7 days after birth, so it is commonly known as "seven-day wind" and "umbilical cord wind". Generally speaking, the more severe the symptoms and the higher the mortality rate, the shorter the incubation period and the faster the onset of the disease. >>>More
