Do I need a tetanus jab?

Stepped on a drawing pin. Pierced the skin of my foot and drew blood. 36 weeks pregnant if that makes any difference 🤔

No idea when I last had a booster.

you can phone NhS111 for advice but washing it out with an antiseptic or even very salty water will do. Tetanus arises after deeper wounds, usually in people that never had any jabs for it.

No its v unlikely. Inside or outside? Clean environment? I've recently had one but was for nail in garden 🙄
