I got a tetanus shot about 36-37 hours after a minor injury. A few people mentioned that it should've been given within 24 hours of getting hurt. I'm worried and not sure what I should do now. Could you advise me on whether I'm still protected or if there's anything else I should be doing?

I've been dealing with some lingering symptoms after testing negative for COVID. It's been 26 days since I initially tested positive, but I'm still experiencing a mild fever, mild cough, and body aches. I noticed my CRP levels are at 4.4, which is double what they were before I had COVID. I'm just wondering, what should I do about this?
