A vaccine can prevent tetanus. It is given as a part of routine childhood immunization. Adults should get a tetanus shot, or booster, every 10 years. If you get a bad cut or burn, see your doctor - you may need a booster. Immediate and proper wound care can prevent tetanus infection.
Any object that has dirt, soil, spit or feces on it is dirty and will require either a tetanus shot or booster unless you have recently had one. Re-vaccinating may be necessary if you have an injury and are not sure when your last tetanus booster was. The doctor will ask if you had a booster within the last 5 years, and if not, he will want to give another booster as a precaution.
