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.

Why is a tetanus shot so painful?

tetanus shots are painful because you are putting iron into your body and your blood has to regulate and accept it.I prefer the tdap shot because it actually has tetanus,diptheria, and pertussis vaccines all in one shot. It feels like a regular shot. You can't even tell that tetanus is in it!Got that shot today! Hope I helped.I received the t-dap and found it to be more painful than the regular tetanus. I still have a lump and soreness two and a half weeks out
