The size wouldn't matter regarding the tetanus shot - but if there is a puncture wound site, I think it should be kept open so that it doesn't get infected and heal over the infection.

You have more medical knowledge than I do but would a splinter or thorn or something working its way out cause bleeding?

I promise, last post about this:')

I'm not sure how I would keep this open though. I cleaned it really good and probed around the area as deep as I could and then applied ointment .
