My wife asked her DR for a Tetanus shot and was told that the only way to get it these days is a DPT shot, a three in one shot.

I had a tetanus shot recently and it was only tetanus.

I was in a car accident a week ago and was given a tetanus only booster shot in the emergency room.

Appointment only Dr offices that give mostly only routine schedule vaccines don’t stock tetanus only because it is not cost effective. ER’s and urgent care or walk in clinics do stock them because they are the ones who provide the bulk of care to accident injuries where a booster shot would be needed.
