Booster immunizations should be given every 10 years.

  • A.True
  • B.False

Answer: A

Correct answer: True

Immunity following tetanus toxoid wanes with time, so a booster is recommended every ten years to keep the antitoxin level above the protective threshold. The same interval governs wound management: a clean minor wound in someone immunised within ten years needs no further dose, while a longer gap or a contaminated wound calls for a booster, and human tetanus immunoglobulin as well if the primary course was never completed.
