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.
Immunity against tetanus decreases with time and further booster shots may be needed. A course of tetanus-containing vaccine is recommended for anyone who has never been vaccinated. Immunisation may not be free of charge. Three doses are given at monthly intervals and two further booster doses are given 10 years apart.
