Help!

Yestersay, I tripped and fell and got a puncture wound on a plastic tray. It did not bleed much at all and im concerned about tetanus. Should I go for a tetanus shot?

Thanks, I havent had a tetanus shot in the past ten years, I was concerned mostly because it was a tray that I may or may not have used to sift dirt before. Its not a very large wound, just a small puncture with skin torn away.
