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.
Confidence votes 53. A booster tetanus shot should be had every five to ten years. However, if you are 40 or under, you should technically be immune to tetanus because of the new vaccine brought out. It consists of 5 injections, one when you're 5, one when you're ten, one when you're fifteen then it's up to you to get yours done when you're 25 and 35 (or 40) or leave it and just have a booster shot every 5 - 10 years.
