Do I need a tetanus vaccine?

According to the CDC, in most settings, a disaster (e.g., earthquake, hurricane, flood, tsunami) does not increase the risk for tetanus. Minimize your risk of tetanus by performing proper wound care https://www.cdc.gov/disasters/woundcare.html and staying up-to-date on routine immunization recommendations. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/dtap-tdap-td/hcp/recommendations.html

Vaccination is recommended if:
You are not received a tetanus vaccine in the last 10 years
You do not know if or when you received a tetanus vaccine
You have experienced a severe or contaminated and have not received a tetanus vaccination in the last 5 years
