Answers:
If you haven't had one in the last five years, it wouldn't hurt to get one, what with all the germs and bacteria there is out there in the world!. I hope you cleaned it with peroxide and cleaned it good and put a band-aid on it with some antibiotic cream!. May even need a suture or two!. Good luck to you sir, hope all goes well with your injury!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The recommendation is every 7 years now!. I just had stitches in my hand from a broken window and they had to give me one because I didn't remember whether my last one was within the last 5 years or not!. They gave it to me just in case I hadn't had it!. When you are in doubt they will give you one anyway!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tetanus is a disease that is something that anyone would want to avoid as there is no cure if you get it!. To solve the problem of possibly getting it, you should have a tetanus every five years, especially if you have had an injury such as a cut!. !.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it wouldn't hurt to get one you just never knowWww@Answer-Health@Com
