A new study shows that adults are protected without booster shots against tetanus and diphtheria for at least 30 years after getting the standard childhood vaccination shots. The United Kingdom and other countries do not recommend adult booster shots at all. Considering the number of adults scheduled to get booster shots at the current recommended 10 year interval, the authors of the study estimate a $280 million health care cost savings each year in the U.S. if the booster schedule were changed to at least the 30 year interval.
