Question Have I had enough Tetanus jabs?

Have I had enough Tetanus jabs?

30 year old male here. I have had:

DTP (triple) + polio (Oct 85, Dec 85, Jun 86)

Booster DT (double) + polio (Jan 90)

Low dose diphtheria, tetanus, inactivated polio (Dec 08)

I assume the 2008 one was a booster(?). Does the 1990-2008 gap matter also? Will I need more Tetanus jabs? Are those above enough for me?

Thank you for reading

It seems your last tetanus shot was in 2008. yes you would need in the future. I understand you have to get it every 10 years. so your next shot would be about 2018
