Can you get a shot if you have an open wound?
To prevent tetanus infection when the wound is clean and minor, you'll need a tetanus shot if you haven't had at least 3 doses in your life, or haven't had a dose in the last 10 years. For other types of shots, it's best to consult a physician.

About Tetanus Shot
A tetanus shot is required to avoid tetanus infection, which can result from minor injuries -- stepping on a nail, for example, or other puncture wounds caused by dirty objects. Tetanus, commonly called lockjaw during World War II, has been largely eliminated by immunization.
