Question is this the right vaccine?

I called my local vets (mostly pet vets, not much goat experience, though officially they;ll treat goats) yesterday and asked if I could get 2cc of CDT vaccine from them for my goat. They said yes, they'd get it ready when they had time and hold it for me. I picked it up today, in a preloaded syringe; the label on the baggie and the receipt describe it as "Clostroid D-T". Is this a right name for the CDT vaccine, or do I have something else? As I said, these aren't the most helpful vets, so I wanted to make sure... I thought the vaccine was for clostridium types C and D plus tetanus and this seems an odd way to abbreviate that.

It is a bit odd of a way to abbreviate it but it could very well be a secretary's abbreviation vs a tech or a vet's. Call and ask, they'll likely be happy to clarify and read the full label to you.

What Mygoat said ^^^. I bought a bottle of BoSe from the vet and it was labeled "Selenium and Vitamin D". A quick call to the office girl corrected it, she admitted that she typed the label wrong because she wasn't familiar with what it was.
