Tetanus vaccine will be effective for 10 years. If your wound is minor or uncontaminated, if you have taken booster within past 10 years then re-vaccination is not required now. Still if you want you can take. There are no major adverse effects with tt.

The single injection by tt induces the immunity production by the body and helps you against tetanus, you need to take it until after on year as you are already immunised well.
