What are the requirements for meeting Tetanus/Tdap vaccinations?This will depend on the facility but the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guideline is:Regardless if a healthcare personnel (HCP) is due for a Tetanus shot they should get a Tdap vaccination.The Tdap, like the Tetanus Vaccine, currently protects the individual from tetanus for 10 years. Pertussis and diphtheria are thought to be a lifetime vaccination under current standards. To meet current requirements, HCPs must show they have had a Tdap (it must be the Tdap and not a combination of shots). Further, 10 years after the date of the Tdap vaccination, the HCP is required to have a Tetanus vaccination. An HCP must get a Td or Tdap booster every 10 years to remain compliant.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also provides guidelines for the Td booster vaccine: ... Td protects against tetanus and diphtheria, but not pertussis. A Td booster should be given every 10 years. Tdap may be given as one of these boosters if you have never gotten Tdap before. |
