Medicare and shots

You are correct: for preventive services, there are only a few vaccines and their administration paid by Medicare.

However, for a patient with a wound, you can get paid for the tetanus vaccine and administration. You'll need a wound code as the diagnosis. You can't get paid just because the patient hasn't had the tetanus shot in ten years. Go figure.
