Is it ok that i received dtap instead of tdap for my adult tetanus booster? (10 years was up so i was due?

Yes. There is some who have more side effects from the higher dose D part of the vaccine as adults than the lower dose d, but if you do not there is no problem. Both will boost your immune system.
