When do I need a tetanus shot?
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.

Either can be given to a 3 year old. The anti tetanus serum should be given if there is reason to believe the child has not been immunized against tetanus before and has been exposed.

What are the vaccines given to protect a child?
DTaP is a vaccine to protect against Diptheria, Tetanus and Pertussis. The antigens present in this vaccine are Diptheria toxoid, Tetanus toxoid and Acellular Pertussis. Another option is the DTP shot which protects against the same diseases. Vericella is a vaccine to protect against chicken pox. MMR is a vaccine to protect against Mumps, Measles and Rubella. IPV is a vaccine to protect against Poliovirus and should not be given to children with neomycin allergies (although this vaccine is typically given to children at 2 months old so you really wouldn't know if the child has this allergy or not...) There is also a shot to protect against Hepatitis B which is given at the hospital when the baby is one day old. This shot is not completely necessary and should, in my opinion, only be given to the child if the mother has hepatitis, if the baby is at risk for contracting it (because of a family member or caregiver with the disease) or if the child is going to daycare. Otherwise, the child should have it a few months before beginning daycare or Kindergarten (if you feel the child may become exposed). When a child is born they are given a Vitamin K shot to help blood clotting.
