Tetox is part of a number of vaccines given to babies. It is repeated every 10 years. If there was an injury which may be tetanus prone (a dirty wound, or a puncture wound) and it had been 5 years since your last shot, It is likely you would be given another to ensure you were covered against tetanus.
It is given after penetrating injury or cuts to people who have not been immunised against Tetanus. Most have had received tetanus immunisation as a child, and they only need a booster after 5 years if they have had cuts or injury with dirty contaminated wounds.

anti tetanus serum
yes you may..
It binds to the tetanus toxin in your blood, blocking the toxin's action on the body's systems. If you have completed your tetanus vaccine schedule, anti-tetanus serum is not required as your blood already contains the apparatus to produce this itself.

ATS means Anti Tetanus Serum.
Anti-tetanus serum is also known as tetanus immune globlulin. In the US, commercial brands available include HyperTet and BayTet. Blood from people who have been immunized with tetanus vaccine is processed to get the tetanus antibodies, which is injected to prevent tetanus in an un-immunized person.
Tetanus is caused by a toxin released by a bacterial organism. The serum contains antibodies to the toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. The antibodies inactivate the toxin in the blood stream and prevent an individual from experiencing tetanus.
the major contraindications are any previous history of hypersensitivity reacton to the serum globulin or any of its component, a hypersensitivity reaction to a test dose, and any condition that will contraindicate intramuscular injection such as thrombocytopenia .
