Yesterday, at the exterior of a grocery store, I got a small cut on my right hand by slightly hitting a shelving unit. This was metal shelving unit, with a lot of rust. So basically, I cut myself with rusty metal. I got to drug store to buy some cotton and hydrogen peroxyde, so I desinfected the cut after a few minutes.
So now I'm worried about tetanus, pale, I did get a shot one year ago, but no protection is perfect and I'm still worried. What should I do? Should I go to the clinic? And could they do something?

if you got a tetanus shot one year ago and have cleaned the cut and it has stopped bleeding, there is nothing more a clinic could do. try not to worry and get a good night's sleep.

you can go and get a tetanus shot to stop future incidents, I get one every few years because I spend time around rusty metal

It's not difficult if you know how.

You should try to relax and realize that thousands and thousands of people everyday cut themselves on metal objects and don't get tetanus.
