Answer:

I know that this booster is good for 10 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tetanus-diphtheria (Td) booster is considered a vaccine that has the capacity to protect humans against three deadly bacteria: tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. This vaccine has the ability to protect adults and adolescents from these bacteria and is given as a booster dose every decade, although it is given earlier if a patient experiences a severe burn or dirty wound.
