Tetanus vaccine - what does this mean
Tetanus is a serious infection caused by a bacterium called clostridium tetani. it is spread through contact with contaminated objects, such as rusty nails, or through cuts and wounds. the tetanus vaccine is a safe and effective way to protect against tetanus. it works by stimulating the body's immune system to produce antibodies that will protect it from the bacteria. the vaccine is usually given as a series of three shots, with a booster shot every 10 years.
What happens during the disease - tetanus vaccine
Tetanus is caused by a toxin released from the bacterium clostridium tetani, which is found in soil, dust, and animal feces. the toxin binds to the nerve endings, causing muscle spasms, stiffness, and difficulty breathing. vaccination is the only effective way to prevent tetanus, as it stimulates the body to produce antibodies that protect against the toxin. vaccination is recommended for all people, especially those who are at high risk of exposure to the bacteria, such as those working with soil or animals.
