Welcome to ChatDoctorHello, you have taken the tetanus injection at the right time, it is better to take the infection with in 24hrs of injury involving dust, mud , iron,nail etc. As soon as you have an injury you need to clean it with clean water, if there is detail or salon use it to clean the wound, than apply antiseptic cream and keep the wound closed if you are going into the dust, if the wound is bigger than get the Chat Doctor.
