Answers:
No don't worry about it, it is a vaccine, you can't overdose on it. In fact it will protect you against tetanus for the next 5 years. It stimulates your immune system to build antibodies ( the stuff that makes the tetanus toxin inactive should you get it in your system).
At least you don't have to face the needle for another 5 years!!
