Tetanus shots last up to 10 years, but if there is a dirty wound or particularly risky wound, you should get one after 5 years.

About Tetanus Shot
A tetanus shot is required to avoid tetanus infection, which can result from minor injuries -- stepping on a nail, for example, or other puncture wounds caused by dirty objects. Tetanus, commonly called lockjaw during World War II, has been largely eliminated by immunization.
