Is it true that the CDC recommends a tetanus booster after a deep or dirty wound if more than 5 years have passed since the last dose?

Yes. Two sources state the CDC/ACIP recommendation that a deep or contaminated wound warrants a tetanus booster if five or more years have passed since the last dose; other CDC and ACIP pages confirm wound-management boosters and routine 10-year dosing but do not give the five-year threshold.
