If your wound has already healed, you typically do not need a tetanus shot for that specific injury. However, it's important to consider your overall tetanus vaccination status. If it's been more than 10 years since your last booster for a clean or minor wound, or more than 5 years for a dirty or contaminated wound, you should get a booster shot. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
