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.
The recommended dose of the tetanus booster is a 0.5 mL injection every 10 years. Immunosuppressive drugs like corticosteroids, antimetabolites, alkylating agents, cytotoxic drugs and radiation may interact with the tetanus booster. Tell your doctor all medications you use. Exercise caution if you get the tetanus booster and have had Guillain-Barre syndrome, have thrombocytopenia, or are prone to blood clots. If you are pregnant and have not received the tetanus booster it is recommended to receive the vaccine after the second trimester.
