There's some good info at the above link to help you decide.

[ ] tetanus boosters for teenagers

My NT son is due for his tetanus booster at his upcoming 14-year-old

check-up. He is fully immunized up to this point. (It was only in

the last few years that I became aware of the dangers of vaccines.)

He is basically healthy, but he has psoriasis. His only reaction to

vaccines was that 10 days after his 15-month MMR shot, he developed a

fever. His brother is autistic.

This booster would be 10 years after his last one, and I know that

boosters are recommended every 10 years throughout one's lifetime.

(I'm also due for mine.) I've been having trouble locating

information about tetanus boosters in teenagers and adults. Can

anyone help me or point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

S.

Check this chart for current composition of vaccines

All tetanus boosters contain thimerasol. There is a single dose DT

that contains trace amounts only, so if you decide to give this

booster, you can request that one. Be sure to check the paperwork

yourself, to be sure you are given that one and not another.

Or you can waive the booster, go here and find your state to learn how

to do it
