the actual shot is suppose to last around ten years, as long as the subject has been treated along the way of their life . that's from what I've read. i recommend that you consult a doctor though .
I recently had a tetanus shot and the nurse told me that my arm would be sore for up to three days.
No longer than 3 or 4 days.

No, and it never was. The tetanus vaccine only contains human immunoglobulin. There is something called tetanus anti-toxin that can be produced in horses or sheep. If you have a puncture wound and have never been immunized or it has been over 10 years since your last booster shot, your doctor may give you a shot of this antitoxin. It's like giving antivenom for a snakebite. This anti-toxin shot is NOT the same as the tetanus vaccine. It doesn't last long in your system, so it does not confer tetanus immunity.

You should get a tetanus shot every 10 years. If you work in an environment where you are more likely to get injured, you should get them every 5 years. If you get a wound that is deep or gets dirty then you should get a tetanus shot if it has been more than 5 years since your last one.

Tetanus shot.
Tetanus is a serious bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani, which affects the nervous system and leads to muscle stiffness and spasms. To maintain immunity, adults should receive a tetanus booster shot every 10 years. However, if someone sustains a deep or dirty wound, a booster may be recommended if it has been more than five years since their last shot.
