After getting the Tdap vaccine as a preteen or teen, adults need to get a Td (tetanus and diphtheria) booster shot every 10 years to stay protected. For adults who didn't get Tdap as a preteen or teen, the easiest thing to do is to get Tdap instead of their next regular Td booster.
How often should you have a tetanus jab and is there a limit to how many you can have? As a general rule you should have a tetanus booster every 10 years because immunity is provided for this length of time from each immunisation. If it has been longer than this since a previous injection, a course of injections will boost your immunity back to fully protected levels and enable the 10-yearly cover to restart.
