Description

Description

The tetanus vaccine is included in the recommended childhood and adult vaccination schedule. It defends against tetanus, often referred to as lockjaw, a bacterial infection. The tetanus vaccination is created by inactivating the tetanus toxin with a chemical. The inactivated toxin is known as a "toxoid." The tetanus toxoid stimulates an immunological reaction to the toxin after injection, but it does not cause disease (tetanus), like the toxin does.

Directions for use

  • Five doses are advised during childhood (at the age of 2, 4, 6, 18 months and 2 years) with a sixth dose administered around adolescence.
  • You must receive a booster shot every ten years throughout your life.
  • If it has been over 5 years since you last got your booster, you may require an immediate booster injection if you have a wound that is dirty or difficult to clean. 
  • Inject into lateral mid-thigh or deltoid subcutaneously or intramuscularly. The vaccination should not be administered into the gluteal region or any other place where a significant nerve trunk may be present.
