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.
Your doctor may recommend that you have a tetanus-containing booster vaccination if you are 50 years or older and you have not had a tetanus booster vaccination in the previous 10 years, if you have been injured, or before travelling. Ask your doctor for advice. The tetanus vaccine can be given to pregnant women.
