If you step on a rusty nail and it punctures the skin you need a tetanus shot. If you have had one recently you should be OK but if not, it is advised you get one.

Clean the wound and apply a suitable sterile dressing first. Go to a doctor, get a tetanus shot, probably take an antibiotic (if prescribed!), and put sterile dressings on the wound.

Wash the wound with soap and water. If you have not had a tetanus shot recently, you should have a "booster" for your tetanus shot.
