I suspect not a lot of adults know that booster is needed every 10 years - everybody kind of assumes that most of vaccines are "one, maybe 2 times deal".

- onetimemanytime 8y agocan it be anything that has tetanus vaccine in it? Sometimes it is combined with other things, that's why I'm asking. Tetanus scares me, I don't live in a city and get cut many times a month while doing stuff.
- unclenoriega 8y agoAs you say, there are several tetanus vaccines. The recommended 10-year booster is the Td (just tetanus and diptheria) or the Tdap (tetanus, diptheria, and pertussis) if you haven't gotten it before. (The Tdap is also recommended during each pregnancy.) Any tetanus-containing vaccine would do though. I believe the amount of tetanus toxoid is the same in all of them.
