Better play it safe and at least call your doctor to ask if you need to get a tetanus shot for starters.
However, if you were 9 or 10, you should be fine.
From what I find searching the internet, you should have a tetanus booster every 10 years, so you should be in the clear unless you are 19 or 20 years old.
Here is a link to a site regarding tetanus for information: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
But still, to be on the safe side, it doesn't hurt to ask your doctor to be certain.

P.S. Call your insurance to report your missing medical card. They will send you a replacement. :)
