Is it true that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a tetanus booster shot every 10 years for adults?
Unclear. Two sources support a decennial tetanus-containing booster: a peer-reviewed commentary argues dTaP boosters every 10 years are necessary, and a Cleveland Clinic page advises a tetanus shot every 10 years. Neither item shows the CDC itself issuing the 10-year adult booster recommendation, so the specific attribution to CDC is only partially covered.
