What can I do if I was accidentally cut by glass?
So today I accidentally broke a piece of glass and it accidentally cut me. The cut was not that deep but it kept on bleeding for a couple of hours. I put on band-aid right away but I'm not sure it helped. I've heard that cuts might cause severe disease (I think it's like you first get a cold, then a fever, and then you die!!!). Do I need to take the vaccination? Again, it wasn't that deep.
If you've had your tetanus jab / booster recently and you cleaned the cut properly before you put a band aid on it, you should be fine.
If you haven't had a tetanus booster recently it is in your best interests to ring your doctor and see if you need one. In the UK, you get three shots when you're two, three and four months old, one shot ten years later and another booster ten years after that. I'm not sure how the US vaccination schedule works, but you do need to check to see if you're protected.
Just clean the wound and then leave it be. If it's not someone that doesn't need covering, don't put a band aid on it, cuts will heal better out in the open rather than covered up. If it's somewhere the gets dirty, cover it to stop the wound getting infected.
