Yes, you may still need a tetanus shot, especially if you have a wound that is at risk for tetanus and it has been more than 10 years since your last Tdap or Td booster. The Tdap vaccine provides protection against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis, but the tetanus component may need to be boosted more frequently for wound management. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
