Yes there is a vaccine for tetanus. It is given as a preventative to babies in a three part series together with the vaccine for Diptheria and acellular Pertussis. The vaccine is known as DTaP. Every ten years people should get a Tetanus booster shot. The booster, again is not given alone, but rather as part of the Tdap vaccine. The change in name indicates that the same amount of tetanus toxoid is injected, but a smaller portion of diptheria toxoid and acellular pertussis is injected.

As I understand, there is no last required tetanus shot. The vaccinations for tetanus are administered every ten years after the age of 6 years old. Before the age of six years old, a tetanus and diptheria vaccination is given when one is an infant, I believe. Exception is when one experiences in particular a deep would. If this occurs, a tetanus vaccination is given as what is called post-exposure prophylaxis. What that means is that the vaccination for tetanus is given due to the possibility that, due to the wound, one may have been exposed to the bacteria that causes the disease of tetanus. After the tetanus vaccination is given, it may take up to two weeks for the formulation of antibodies to prevent acquiring the disease of tetanus.
Horses should be vaccinated yearly against Tetanus and boosters may be recommended if a horse is injured.
Tetanus can be treated once symptoms appear, but it may become a medical emergency. It is better to have a vaccination before beginning any work that could increase the risk of tetanus. Tetanus vaccinations provide years, even a lifetime of immunity.
