You can get a tetanus shot at several convenient locations:
- Your pediatrician, family doctor, or primary care provider typically administers tetanus shots for children and adults.
- Pharmacies such as CVS MinuteClinic, Walgreens, Kroger Pharmacy, and Walmart offer tetanus vaccines, often without the need for an appointment or with easy scheduling options
- Urgent care centers like +MEDRITE provide quick and efficient tetanus vaccinations, especially useful if you have a wound that might require immediate attention. They usually accept walk-ins and have extended hours
- Public health departments and travel clinics also provide tetanus vaccinations
These options provide flexibility whether you need a routine booster or a shot after an injury. Most insurance plans cover the vaccine, and pharmacies or clinics can inform you about costs if uninsured
