- Public-health guidance therefore sets a fixed booster interval — a tetanus-diphtheria shot every ten years — chosen so that antibody levels stay above the protective threshold across the population between doses, without measuring any individual's titer.
This sourceRecommends routine Td or Tdap boosters every ten years because antitoxin levels decline toward the minimum protective level over that interval.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
