You work the construction trades you get a tetanus shot regularly. Why? Just in case. I kid you not. I've been told more times than I can remember that by the time they can confirm you have tetanus it's too late to do anything about it. Our medical industry is odd at times.

Tetanus shots are good for 10 years, so if by regularly you mean every 10 years, then yes.

If you can't remember your last one then you could get another, I have been told.

They might be good for even longer, but the powers that be choose to refrain from testing how long it does last. Rather, they confirmed it lasted a minimum of 10 years. Then chose to be willfully ignorant of how long it does last

Nurse: "When was the last time you had a tetanus shot?" Me: "I don't remember." Nurse: "Roll up your sleeve."
