The recommended dose of the tetanus booster is a 0.5 mL injection every 10 years. Immunosuppressive drugs like corticosteroids, antimetabolites, alkylating agents, cytotoxic drugs and radiation may interact with the tetanus booster. Tell your doctor all medications you use.

If you are pregnant and have not received the tetanus booster it is recommended to receive the vaccine after the second trimester.
