Question
After being stuck, there was a minor bleeding at the wound, which was disinfected with 75% ethanol solution a few minutes later. I have received the tetanus vaccine multiple times in the past year. Do I need to get vaccinated again? The wound has come into contact with something that looks like copper, and it’s not certain if there is rust.
Answer
The current situation is not severe, and there is no need to worry excessively. As long as the wound is not deep and has not come into contact with rust, the risk is relatively low. The key is to strengthen wound care and prevent infection. It is recommended to drink more water, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and maintain normal daily life.
