Puppy Bite- Do I need a Tetanus?

My puppy bit the inside of my arm. When I say bit it was really a nip but I pulled my arm away quickly as a reaction and she hung on. It's broken the skin with her two bottom canine teeth. My mums insisting it needs a Tetanus do I really or is she just being OTT?

Thanks :)

    You sound young. A tetanus shot is in order, BUT, if you have had one in the last 10 years you don't need one now. Usually you will get a booster when you start school so that is good until at least the 10th grade.
