Answers:
Every 10 years!. But it's still possible for an infection (I'm not talking the tetanus disease) if you broke the skin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

call your local clinic, they'll let you know!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

T shot is good for 10 years!. unless the nail is really dirty and the cut is really deep, then 5 year is the line!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Once you get the initial, the boosters are good for 10 years!. Just got one 2 days ago after a chemical burn!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
