Many infections are visible. You can see them or feel them. A tetanus infection differs. A long pointed nail might give a deep puncture wound. The outer wound might heal. Deep inside a tetanus infection lurks. It could be treated by antibiotics if anyone knew it existed but no one does. The person feels a little lethargic. So what, doesn't everyone some time? Then the patient starts feeling really lousy. He goes to the doctor. Tetanus. The doctor puts the patient in the hospital. Oxygen. IV drips with antibiotics added. Sometimes the patient pulls through, sometimes not.
Many needless deaths have occurred because a British Doctor lied on a witness stand about vaccines causing autism. He should be hanged as should be the lawyers involved in that fraud.
Getting vaccinated against Tetanus is important because the ground holds bacteria. There is also bacteria in animal feces that can cause a disease called lockjaw. Lockjaw can be fatal and is a very painful way to die.
For a simple reason: tetanus is a horrible disease that can be prevented with proper immunization. That's reason enough.
All horses should be vaccinated against tetanus.
Answer:Yes they can. In fact they are one of the species that is most susceptible to the bacteria that causes tetanus. Thus it is recommended that they be vaccinated yearly against tetanus.
Horses should be vaccinated yearly against Tetanus and boosters may be recommended if a horse is injured.
Horses are vaccinated with a tetanus toxoid that is marketed for use in horses.
Horses should be vaccinated against Tetanus yearly as they are one of the most highly susceptible species of animal to the toxins that cause the disease and because they shed the bacteria in their feces so are at risk of exposure.
Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis are three bacterial diseases that are often vaccinated against with a single shot (dtap)(diphtheria+tetanus and pertussis). All are lytic as they cause disease in a few days after exposure.
TB is highly contagious and can spread easily through the air. By vaccinating most of the population, we can create herd immunity, reducing the overall transmission of the disease and protecting those who are more vulnerable to severe TB infections, such as young children, elderly individuals, and people with weakened immune systems. This can help control outbreaks and reduce the burden of TB on public health systems.
Tetanus is called by a bacteria named Clostridium tetani. This has been called at times "lockjaw". You should always be vaccinated for this.
because a womans immun system is weaker during pregnancy, therefore they are at higher risk of infection and/or disease... its safer to get vaccinated
active prophylaxis by taking 3 injection of tetanus toxiod 0-1-6 month interval and passive by taking antitetanus immunoglobulin
