Called my doctor after the wife was done bandaging me up.
2003 was my last shot.
Fortunately, I have a good doctor and I will be off soon to get my booster shot.
"After the initial tetanus series, booster shots are recommended every 10 years. If you experience a puncture wound, it's best to get the booster shot regardless of when you had your last tetanus shot."
We are always banging ourselves up.
I'll bet others have forgotten about this as well.
My last tetnus shot was 16 years ago when I fell off my property fence and had the bottom of a dirty tomato cage go through my hand.
I recall getting a tetnus shot after this mishap but dont recall getting a bosster after. My uncle had lock jaw due to stepping on a rusty nail so my family always took tetnus seriously.

I got one 3 years ago ... I've always kept them up because of the amount of dirty junk I handle and get cut up with.
