I punched a wall and there was a nail in it, anything bad going to happen?

I was wondering if anything bad would happen to me because i was working with my dad in construction and i punched the wall not knowing there was a nail there, the nail went about half an inch deep into my hand. I haven't had my tenus shot or however you call it. i don't think the nail was rusty but would anything bad happen?I punched a wall and there was a nail in it, anything bad going to happen?
If you went to the doctor, they'd give you a tetanus booster just to be safe. Make sure that your wound is cleaned really well -- your main risk is for infection at this point. If you start to run a fever and/or notice redness around the puncture wound, go to the doctor for more medical treatment.
