It's now called DTaP. Diphtheria, Tetanus and acellular Pertussis. They improved the Pertussis vaccine formulation, hence the new name. Yes, you should boost that one every 10 years.

I think I'm all caught up on everything (got my covid booster and flu shot last month) except that I'm a few years behind on tetanus or DTaP.  I meant to get it two years ago during a routine appointment with the doctor, but the appointment went awry and I totally forgot and didn't bring it up at my recent appointment for similar reasons.  I'll probably try to get it at a drug store at some point rather than have to deal with him any more than I have to.  I wonder if I'll still have a reaction to it.
