Yes, you can receive another tetanus shot if you had one three years ago, especially if you have a wound that is at risk for tetanus. The standard recommendation is to get a tetanus booster every 10 years, but for certain injuries, a booster may be given sooner. It's best to consult a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate course of action based on your specific situation.

Signs that you may need a tetanus shot include a deep or dirty wound, especially if it was caused by a puncture or animal bite.

As soon as possible. You really don't want to wait because the area that was punctured can get infected and the blood stream has been exposed as well. Go to the ER or get a doctor appointment IMMEDIATELY and get it taken care of, for your own health
