If you haven't had one in the past 10 years, you should probably go get it checked out, and go get your shot. if you had one in the past10 years, you will be fine, just keep the sore clean and check it for infection.

even if you have had one in the last 10 yrs it makes good sense to get a booster if you have a puncture wound. Call your dr or go to a clinic. If if was an at work incident you may need to file a report at work and go to a workers comp clinic
