If you have had all.: Of the childhood doses and are up to date with boosters for tetanus, you are ok.

Possibly: Having completed a primary series will give you basic, but time limited protection. Ten years after the last dose, the protection has begun to fade & you are likely to become susceptible. Having a booster after 5 years if you have a dirty, grimy cut or 10 years if you seldom get them, can assure good protection.We recommend the adult tdap today rather than a tetanus shot alone.
