You need to choose based on the formality register of the text, but in British English in an informal context you would definitely say 'I need to get a tetanus as I cut my hand on a rusty nail'

TT


Explanation:
Tetanus toxoid (TT) vaccine protects against tetanus. It is provided as a liquid in vials and also in prefilled auto-disable injection devices (see Module 4). It is available in a number of different formulations:

* TT vaccine protects only against tetanus and neonatal tetanus.
* DTP, or diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine, protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (see Section 1 of this Module).
* DT, or diphtheria-tetanus toxoids vaccine, protects against diphtheria and tetanus. Because it contains high levels of diphtheria toxoid, it should not be given to children older than six years old or adults.
* Td, or tetanus-diphtheria toxoids adult dose vaccine, is the same vaccine as DT, but with a lower diphtheria toxoid dose. It is suitable for children older than six years old and adults, including pregnant women. Td has the added advantage of protecting against diphtheria and tetanus.
