My granddaughter just stepped on a rusty nail and her foot was bleeding and my daughter doesnt know if she ever had a shot for tetanus.  My granddaughter is 6.  What should she do? If I have to pay for this service I cant afford it and my granddaughter lives in another state.  Please help me!
Hello and thank you for your question. Your granddaughter needs to be taken to her doctor right away. It is very important that she get a tetanus shot if she is not up-to-date on that vaccine. The wound should also be cleaned and examined for signs of infection.
