What Med Is Given For Tetanus?

My doctor advised me to get a tetanus shot. I am 78 and we go fishing and camping a lot and he felt it would be a good idea. I need to look up the different meds so I can see if one of them is covered in my insurance formulary. Can you tell me what med is given for tetanus?
