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.
The other two doses are a dual vaccine (Td) cover tetanus and diphtheria. You receive these vaccines over a period of seven to 12 months. Vaccination against pertussis is especially important for those in direct contact with young infants or patients. After receiving the primary series, get a Td booster every 10 years.his is how the disease came to be called lockjaw. Symptoms of tetanus may include: 1  Headache. 2  Muscle stiffness, starting in the jaw, then the neck and the arms, legs, or abdomen. 3  Trouble swallowing.
