A booster tetanus shot should be had every five to ten years. However, if you are 40 or under, you should technically be immune to tetanus because of the new vaccine brought out. It consists of 5 injections, one when you're 5, one when you're ten, one when you're fifteen then it's up to you to get yours done when you're 25 and 35 (or 40) or leave it and just have a booster shot every 5 - 10 years. (Please note: This information differs from country to country, and individual persons health and vaccination record, though I am 40, I still had to have a booster every 5-10 years because of my vaccination record, so contact your GP/doctor before guaranteeing anything)
