Toddler has a open burn then played in soil today - freaking out

So the reason I'm messaging here and now at a doctor's is because, look, it's been 3-4 days since the initial burn.

Day 2, a blister formed, and he promptly burst it from playing.

Every bandage I put he either rips or sucks on wet.

Then I wrap a bandage and he quickly pulls it off.

I so far have done a decent job keeping it clean.

He has ripped the scar yesterday once but has not done that today as I am more proactive re applying a bandage.

The burn is just on the inner finger. Its not huge but big to notice.

He got burned on my iron and I feel horrible.

So, my little guy is 2 next month and he has no tdap shot at all.

I thought nothing of it then I realized he played in dirt with an open wound thats partically healing but still red.

Im freaking out. I worry enough for him and I just want to know if anyone has gone through that and made it out.

Im not anti v. I wanted to give it to him but my husband wants to delay it and delay it. Is this an emergency or am I over reacting?

Trying to move from San Diego to find a family friendly, reasonably affordable state any advice?

Hi!

My husband and I have been putting our heads together for quite some time to figure out how we can move out of San Diego and find an area that is more affordable for us.

He is in school for accounting and wants an entry position. While I know those dont really pay much typically but its been hard for us to get our foot in the door where we are now and see a lot more entry job postings elsewhere.

Im flexible with work, I work remotely so thats not really an issue.

We know we cant get it all but really we need a place thats family friendly so reasonably low crime rate, career opportunities, and reasonably affordable.

To give perspective, in San Diego we are paying 2300 for a 1 bedroom and thats actually generous for your area. On average where we are it could definitely be more. We want to expand our family and its just not doable in a 1 bedroom anymore.

I keep coming across north carolina, and I even considered colorado for a bit but not im not sure. I think Atlanta job market is good but im a little concerned about crime but maybe im misinformed.

I have until December to figure this out. Its something we really want to do the upcoming year.

I would really appreciate input!
