People of all ages need tetanus shots at different times in their lives. Adults need a tetanus shot (tetanus booster) every 10 years. A booster shot is another dose of a vaccine that you get months or years after a previous dose. Providers call it a booster shot because it “boosts” your immune system again and helps your body protect you from illness.
If you’re pregnant, you’ll need a tetanus shot during the third trimester of each pregnancy to protect you and the fetus.
Babies and kids need six doses of the tetanus shot while they’re growing up. They should get one dose at:
2 months old.
4 months old.
6 months old.
Between 15 and 18 months old.
Between 4 and 6 years old.
Between 11 and 12 years old.
Doctors also give tetanus shots to people after they cut or puncture their skin, especially if the cut is deep.
Although many people think you get tetanus from stepping on a rusty nail, any wound that opens the skin can cause tetanus.
Doctor s may recommend a tetanus booster shot if you have a cut and you either:
Don’t know your immunization history (it’s safe to get an additional shot early if needed).
Got your last tetanus dose more than 10 years before the wound.
Have had fewer than three doses of the tetanus shot.
