Generally, a tetanus shot is not specifically required for a seagull bite unless the wound is deep, dirty, or if you haven't had a tetanus booster in the last 5 to 10 years. Tetanus is more commonly associated with injuries from rusty metal or dirty objects. However, it's important to clean the wound thoroughly and monitor for signs of infection. If you're unsure or have concerns, it's best to consult a healthcare professional.
