Around the 15th birthday a booster shot is given to people who were vaccinated against tetanus and diphtheria at an early age. This booster dose also contains pertussis vaccine (Tdap). Adults should get Td vaccine boosters every 10 years for continued protection.
To determine if you need a tetanus shot, the doctor will ask when you received your last tetanus vaccination. She'll recommend a tetanus shot to protect you against possible infection if the dog bite punctured your skin and it's been longer than five years since your last shot. If needed, the tetanus shot should be administered within 24 hours of any skin puncture, according to Columbia University.
