HEALTH TIP

Tetanus is a serious illness caused by Clostridium bacteria. The bacteria live in soil, saliva, dust, and manure. The bacteria can enter the body through a deep cut, like those you might get from stepping on a nail, or through a burn.

The infection causes painful tightening of the muscles, usually all over the body. It can lead to "locking" of the jaw. This makes it impossible to open your mouth or swallow. Tetanus is a medical emergency. You need to get treatment in a hospital.

A vaccine can prevent tetanus. It is given as a part of routine childhood immunization. Adults should get a tetanus shot, or booster, every 10 years. If you get a bad cut or burn, see your doctor - you may need a booster. Immediate and proper wound care can prevent tetanus infection.

Why vaccinate adults against tetanus?

• The bacteria that cause tetanus are ubiquitous in soil; any lapse in immunity can create an opportunity for infection.
• Approximately 10 to 20 percent of reported cases of tetanus are fatal.

-

• All adults need a tetanus booster vaccine every 10 years.
  Tetanus booster is available in combination with diphtheria (Td vaccine) or diphtheria and pertussis (Tdap vaccine).
• Adults should get Tdap once and then Td every 10 years after.
• Pregnant women especially should get the Tdap vaccine because of the protection it provides against whooping cough.
