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.
Although tetanus-causing bacteria needs three days to incubate and release the toxin to your blood, you do not have to wait for that long. Soon after you get wounded, try to recall the last time you get a shot of tetanus. Tetanus vaccine should be given when you are young and be repeated once every 10 years. When you step on a rusty nail and havenât got the shot in the last five years, you need to go to the hospital within 24 hours to get the shot. If you have got the shot within the last five years and the wound is not deep and severe, you can take your time to see whether you have the tetanus symptoms.
