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.
Tdap should be given to all adults once in place of one Td (tetanus-diphtheria) booster vaccine, which is recommended every 10 years.
