Since the iron rod pierced your foot, it's essential to consider tetanus prevention. Tetanus is a serious bacterial infection that can enter your body through cuts or wounds, especially those exposed to dirt or soil .

Given that your injury isn't deep, you'll still need to assess your tetanus vaccination status. If you've had a tetanus shot within the last 10 years, you're likely covered. However, if it's been more than 10 years or you're unsure, it's best to get a booster shot within 48 to 72 hours after the injury  .

To further minimize the risk of tetanus infection:

- *Clean the wound*: Wash the injured area with soap and water, and dry it with a clean towel.
- *Apply antibiotic ointment*: Put a thin layer of antibiotic ointment on the affected area to help prevent infection.
- *Cover the wound*: Cover the injured area with a bandage or dressing to keep it clean and protect it from further irritation.
