A member asked:

I had a dtap shot after i had a baby 5yrs ago.and boosters before that.yesterday i cut myself on a rusty nail,drew a little blood.chances of tetanus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is good for 10 yr: Working in urgent care our routine is to administer a tetanus booster to anyone who has a cut such as yours (puncture with dirty instrument) if the last booster was over 5 years. In your case it would probably be wise to get the booster.
