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.
Maybe. An OSHA recordable injury is one that involves death, lost workdays, restricted workdays, and medical care that goes beyond first aid. If stepping on the nail meant you lost days from work, or your foot became infected and required medical care, it may be a recordable. If you went to the doctor, and he gave you a tetanus shot, and you returned to work your next scheduled workday, that may NOT be recordable. (A tetanus shot is a PREVENTION, not a treatment)
Yes. there is one dangerous in a tetanus shot and that is tetanus.
Tetanus shot.
No, you do not need a tetanus shot for gall bladder surgery.
A tetanus shot, easy to get at your GP.
Yes, nausea is one of the symptoms of a tetanus shot. You may also have flu like symptoms and that is also from the shot.
Why was antitoxin given instead of a booster shot of tetanus toxoid?
No, tetanus shots are for rusty metal.
Tetanus. Hepatitis I would recommend if the nail was bloody before you stepped on it.

What is OSHA recordable is an injury requiring medical treatment beyond first aid. If an injection is given as part of treatment for an injury that was work related, then the injury may be OSHA recordable. However, if an injection is given as a precaution after a work related event, then the injury may not be recordable. An example might be a tetanus shot after stepping on a rusty nail at work.For any particular event, whether it is OSHA recordable should be determined by someone familiar with both the OSHA regulations on injury and illness recording, and with the specifics of the particular workplace and event. Never rely on advice in a form like this on to determine whether to enter any particular event in the OSHA Injury and Illness Log.
tetanus shots are painful because you are putting iron into your body and your blood has to regulate and accept it.I prefer the tdap shot because it actually has tetanus,diptheria, and pertussis vaccines all in one shot. It feels like a regular shot. You can't even tell that tetanus is in it!Got that shot today! Hope I helped.I received the t-dap and found it to be more painful than the regular tetanus. I still have a lump and soreness two and a half weeks out
