it wouldn't hurt to get a tetanus shot, but you definitely need to see a doctor. anytime you have a puncture wound from an animal bite, there is a VERY high chance of get a blood infection that can be extremely serious!!!

if the animal is wild or abnormally vicious, you may need to get a rabies shot. if a human develops signs of rabies, it is too late!

Is human bite a risk for tetanus infection?

Tetanus cannot be transferred via mouth to blood, due to the fact that tetanus cannot grow inside of the mouth because of the saliva. If one has tetanus, it cannot be transferred to another via mouth. The only possible danger is if your blood comes in contact with theirs in which case you might want to be checked, although chances of gaining tetanus from another person are slim to none and if you are updated on your tetanus shots, then there's nothing to worry about.
