Do you need a tetanus shot before they can stick the needle in your arm?
Do I need a tetanus shot before I stick the scissors into my finger?

vaccine is helpful, but "it can take up to two weeks for tetanus antibodies to form"; also "Because C. tetani is an anaerobic bacterium, it, and its endospores, will thrive in an environment that lacks oxygen." take oxygen baths :) and best of all avoid nails!
Famous tetanus victims:
• George Montagu - English ornithologist; contracted tetanus when he stepped on a nail.
• Fred Thomson - silent film actor; stepped on a nail.
• Traveller - General Robert E. Lee's favorite horse; stepped on a nail.
