The World Health Organization (WHO) currently recommends a primary vaccination series against tetanus and diphtheria during childhood and regular booster vaccinations throughout life, and this recommendation is implemented in many countries 3, 4. All European countries recommend three or four doses of tetanus and diphtheria vaccine in the first 2 years of life and one to three childhood/adolescence booster shots (age 217 years). The majority of the European countries recommend regular booster vaccinations throughout adulthood every 1020 years. Recommendations in Croatia and Poland include only a single booster shot during adulthood. Several countries do not recommend vaccination during adulthood. Only a few countries have issued specific recommendations for elderly people, with shortened booster intervals in Austria, France and Liechtenstein and additional doses in Croatia and Spain. All other countries also implement adult recommendations for elderly people. Tetanus and diphtheria vaccination is generally recommended as a combined vaccination; however, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Malta, Romania and Slovenia issued discordant recommendations for tetanus and diphtheria.

Only time I ever hear of someone getting a tetanus booster is if they cut themselves on something rusty and get a tetanus shot when they get treated for the injury

and I had to get one before I had surgical screws put in my ankle, so I guess thats a second reason
