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.
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.
