After 3 doses of tetanus toxoid (TT) vaccine, we indeed get immunity for 10 years. These 3 doses are usually taken in form of DPT vaccine when we are only weeks old. After that you have to get booster shot of tetanus every 10 years. However, the timing of your booster shot may be influenced by injury or wound management need, as well as pregnancy. This implies even if it hasn’t been a full 10 years since your last tetanus shot, if you experience an injury that could potentially lead to a tetanus infection , it’s advisable to receive another tetanus vaccination.
TT is administered 48 hrs within the incidence of injury.

Depends on your wound and your previous vaccination status.
Tetanus shots are affective for a minimum of 6 months. If in doubt, take the vaccine. There is no cure for tetanus.
