My daughter stepped on a pitchfork (manure/straw) tooth in her foot. The wound looks clean, no sign of infection and not red. Should she receive a tetanus vaccine dose?

It is recommended that individuals receive a tetanus vaccine every 10 years, or sooner if they have a significant wound or injury that puts them at risk of tetanus. It would be best to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist to determine if a tetanus vaccine is necessary in the specific situation described.
