i'm glad you got the shot. its better safe than sorry. i think there's a risk of tetanus anytime you puncture the skin, so a doctor will recommend it, but its nothing to freak out about. i remember during my 2 week career at Petco this young girl i worked with got bit by a sick hamster while giving him medicine. i told her she should get a tetanus shot and she got all freaked out! i tried to explain that it wasn't a big deal, but she never came back after that.
