vaccine can protect adolescents and adults from tetanus and diphtheria. Td is usually given as a booster dose every 10 years but it can also be given earlier after a severe and dirty wound or
burn for example. If a booster is required then it is recommended to have the
Tdap

recommended
instead of Td
vaccine to protect you from pertussis exposure while in the clinical facilities.
