If you get cut by rust do you need to get shots?
If you get cut by something that has rust on it, you do not necessarily need to get a tetanus shot but it is recommended. Tetanus is caused by animal saliva, feces, soil spores, and other contaminates that might be in the soil or in the rust. ChaCha!

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.
