hi
i appreciate your concern
i would like to know about your previous immunisation for tetanus
if you are well immunised, taken last TT injection within last 5 years you need not to worry,
as such you had just tiny scratches so its not so bothersome as well.
you can take it tomorrow
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
wish you good health
