Do you remember when was the last time you had a tetanus shot?

Asked by Pandora (32214points) April 1st, 2012

I’m a bit ashamed to admit that I thought that tetanus only came from a rusty nail. I just read this after asking a flutherite if they have had their tetanus shots. It has been some time for me and I have long forgotten when I last got one.
I had no idea how simple it would be to get it from a simple cut. Not just a rusty nail, nor how fatal it is once you get it.
So am I the only one who has forgotten about it and let it slide?
Do you know of a vaccine other than tetanus that adults should get every once in a while?
