If your hand is scratched and bleeding by iron sheet, you need to be admitted to hospital for tetanus vaccination, because tetanus bacilli may be present in the iron sheet, which may lead to tetanus infection. After being scratched by iron sheet, you should immediately use flowing water for local washing, and then use iodophor for local disinfection.
