Will I get tetanus if I get pricked?

Patient's question:

I got pricked by this, and it bled a little at the time. It took me about two or three minutes to heal the inflammation. I used a 75% ethanol disinfectant. I have been injected several times within a year. Do I still need it this time? I'm quite scared because it's mostly copper-colored, and it's hard to see any rust.

Doctor's answer:

Hello. The current situation is not serious. The problem is not as severe as you imagine. Moreover, as long as the wound is not deep and it is not rust, everything is fine.
Hello. The current situation is not serious either. It is not as severe as you imagine. The wound is also not deep, and there is no sign of rust. Therefore, the problem is not significant. Relax and live normally. The key is to enhance care and avoid infection. Make sure to drink plenty of water in the next few days. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
