Do I need to get one or two vaccines?

The number of vaccine doses you need for a particular vaccine can vary depending on several factors, including the type of vaccine, your age, and your vaccination history. To determine whether you need one or two doses of a vaccine that you received 10 years ago, you should consider the specific vaccine in question and consult with a healthcare professional.

Here are a few scenarios to consider:

1. Routine Booster Vaccines: Some vaccines require periodic booster shots to maintain immunity. For example, the tetanus vaccine typically requires a booster every 10 years. If you received a tetanus vaccine 10 years ago, you would likely need a booster dose.

2. Childhood Vaccines: If you received certain childhood vaccines more than 10 years ago, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, you may not need additional doses unless there is a specific outbreak or recommendation for a booster.

3. Vaccine Series: Some vaccines are administered as a series of doses, and the timing and number of doses can vary. For example, the hepatitis B vaccine is often given as a series of three doses. If you completed the series 10 years ago, you may not need additional doses unless there are specific recommendations or changes in guidelines.

4. COVID-19 Vaccine: If you are referring to the COVID-19 vaccine and received your last dose 10 years ago, it's important to follow the guidelines provided by health authorities. COVID-19 vaccine recommendations may evolve over time, including the need for booster shots. Consult with healthcare professionals or refer to the latest guidelines from health authorities in your region to determine if you need additional COVID-19 vaccine doses.
