Today I scratched myself with the bottom of the metal door to our camper/RV that is stored outside. It is a very minor scratch but did bleed for a second. The door that I cut myself on is not rusty or particularly dirty but it kept outside so it is certainly not sterile either. I cleaned the scratch right away. My health anxiety is particularly high right now because I am currently recovering from COVID and have had too much time to worry about things. So I searched online for how long a tetanus shot is good for after worrying about the fact that I had scratched myself on a metal object that has been outdoors (I had my last tetanus shot 6 years ago). Although it says the boosters are good for 10 years, a lot of websites say you should get another booster if it has been more than 5 years and you have an injury that could cause tetanus. Am I good with my last shot since I am within the 10 years or do I need to be worrying about getting another one now due to my scratch? The fact that I currently have COVID is making me over think this even more since I can’t just walk into any clinic to get a booster and I also don’t know if it is a great idea to get a vaccine while my immune system is fighting covid. My brain tells me I am totally overthinking this but I need some reassurance.
