tetanus shot

[mranderson]

Does a tetanus shot completly protect you from ever getting tetanus? cause im pretty sure ive gonna rust in alot of cuts but i got a tetanus shot last year

It protects for few years. Then you have to do it again.

I got it yesterday :D.It`s only good for one year,than you have to do it again.From what you`r saying you might have an immunity but still take it to be on the safe side.

i think they're 10 year shots.
if you got one this year, you should be covered for awhile. if you get a bad cut by something rusty i think youre supposed to get one if its been more than 3-5 years (confirm?)

Indeed. It is recommended that you get a shot every 10 years. If you recieve a deep wound and you haven't had one in the past 5 years, then you should also get another shot.
