This shot is 3 vaccines in a single vaccination. The shot itself does not hurt very much. But, afterwards your arm may feel tense and sore because, this shot includes the Tetanus: these side effects should subside after 1-3 days. I would definitely recommend getting this shot! Actually, most schools are now requiring students to get it other wise they will be banned from school. This shot is also not just for students it is recommended for people of all ages.
How long to wait between Td and Tdap?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that there should be at least 10 years between Td (tetanus and diphtheria) and Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccinations for adults. However, if a person has a wound that requires a Td booster and it has been more than 5 years since their last Td or Tdap dose, they should receive Tdap instead.
