My husband knelt on a board he was fixing and there was a small rusty screw that superficially punctured his knee. It bled a little. I cleaned it with alcohol pads, put triple antibiotic on it and then bandaged it. He is 61 years old. Does he need to go,have a tetanus vaccine?
HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor. I reviewed your history. He needs tetanus vaccine since he would have taken is last immunization long back.  If he has taken his immunization within 10 years then it is not required. He needs immunization since it is injury by a rusty screw. Hope this information is helpful. Thank you for writing to Chat Doctor.
