I stepped on a rusty nail. I washed the site , put an antibiotic on it... but should I still come in for a tetanus shot? I have no idea when I last got one... it must be much longer than 10 years.

Yes you should come in. Stepping on a rusty nail increases your chances you get tetanus.

I would. Tetanus is bad and can kill you. ER is off Fireweed Ave.
