Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 I just cut my finger too on a serrated bread knife, 5 stiches & deep. I did not see any need to get a tetanus shot as it was a clean knife, not a rusted piece of metal. I did not get a tetanus shot. I do not think you need to worry about it. Better off not getting one unless you really need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Hi! If the wounds have been bleeding, it's rather unprobable that you will get tetanus. In my opinion vaccines are like russian roulette, nothing and everything can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
