no.. when you get a vaccine it gives you a little bit of the bacteria from the disease so your body builds an immunity to it. So no, the tetanus vaccine DOES NOT kill tetanus organisms, but deposits tetanus into your body! sounds crazy right?

The simple answer is that you could get tetanus. Tetanus is a serious disease that attacks your nervous system. It causes locked jaw, neck stiffness, difficulty swallowing, rigidity of the stomach, muscle spasms, seizure-like activity, and death in about 10-20% of patients. It is common in soil and spread through bacteria that enters the body through cuts in the skin, so you don't need to be near someone who is infected to get the disease.

How does the tetanus attack and spread?
Tetanus attacks in open wounds, such as a fresh cut. When soil, saliva, or even feces gets into contact with it, Clostridium tetani attacks the body. Also, Tetanus can occur when rusty nails puncture the skin. Tetanus occurs in the Central Nervous System(brain and spinal cord).

Can prevent some bacteria disease by helping the body to learn to recognize certain harmful bacteria?
Vaccines are great for this. Some vaccines distribute inactive bacteria into your body so that your white blood cells can learn to recognize them. This prevents you from getting whatever disease the bacteria cause. Sometimes, however, it is not safe to introduce bacteria to the body like that. In situations like that, I think it would be best to take antibiotics.
