If I was bit by a dog at work and they gave me a tetanus shot is it OSHA reportable?

Probably not - OSHA doesn't classify tetanus shots as medical treatment. However, this may depend upon whether or not being exposed to or working around dogs is part of your job - if a coworker brought a dog in on lunch break and you were bit by that dog, it is probably not recordable. If you are working in a dog daycare facility and were bit by a boarding dog, it may be recordable.

What will happen if I don't get a tetanus shot after being bit by a dog?

There is a possibility that you could develop tetanus, which is also called lockjaw. This is an excruciatingly painful condition that can also be lethal; the shot is generally less than $20 at your local health department clinic and the side effects are minimal. Also, depending upon the dog, I would be concerned about getting rabies post-exposure prophylaxis - if the dog was not current on his/her rabies vaccine, there is a risk of you becoming infected with rabies. Check with your physician.
