I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Any adult who has not had a tetanus immunization within 10 years should get a single dose of tdap. After tdap, the td vaccine is recommended every 10 years. There is evidence that the tetanus immunization remains highly effective for much longer than 10 years.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
