An MMR Titer is a blood test that checks your antibody titer levels to Measles, Mumps and Rubella. It is run in a laboratory. A titer test is not an injection, shot, or vaccination. An antibody is a component of the immune system.
If you're an adult, get a Td (tetanus and diphtheria) booster shot every 10 years to stay protected. Since some people may lose the protective antibody levels after 5 years, a booster vaccination is recommended if you get a deep, contaminated wound and haven't had a vaccination in more than 5 years.
You should have a tetanus shot if you: 1  Did not receive a primary series of tetanus shots as a child. 2  Have not had a tetanus booster in the last 10 years. 3  Have recovered from tetanus.t's important to know that, in general, the risk of problems from getting tetanus is much greater than from getting a tetanus vaccine. You cannot get tetanus from the tetanus shot. However, sometimes the tetanus vaccine can cause mild side effects.
