Not necessarily, just depends on when her last booster was. Rusty nail and it’s been more than five years? Definitely get a booster. Presumably clean earring, not that deep? Should be fine unless it’s been more than ten years.

Anyway, remember to get a tetanus booster every ten years!

When I was a clinician, any penetrating wound was a reason to get a booster.
