The tetanus shot is administered as an intramuscular injection, typically in the upper arm or thigh, depending on the patient's age. It can be given as a standalone tetanus vaccine or combined with diphtheria and pertussis vaccines (Tdap or Td). For adults, a booster is recommended every 10 years, or sooner if there is a high-risk injury. The procedure is quick and generally well-tolerated, with minor side effects like soreness at the injection site.
