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 WHO guidelines for tetanus vaccination consist of a primary course of three doses in infancy, boosters at 4â7 and 12â15 years of age, and one booster in adulthood. In the United States, the CDC suggests an additional dose at 14â16 months and boosters every 10 years.
