Tetanus only valid for 1 month?

2022-12-16 07:55:22
For a small cut, doctor gave me 1 tetanus shot. When I asked about the validity he told that it is valid for 1 months. What is the actual validity for tetanus shot? Because people says 10 years, 5 years,6 months, 3 months etc. So what is the correct one?
