You absolutely can die from tetanus if you do not receive the treatment, which is a LONG and painful process. In fact, that's why everyone is so adamant that you receive the vaccine known as a "tetanus shot."
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?
In my area, tetanus vaccine is given at any time of day.

Tetanus-Diphtheria Vaccine
The TT, or tetanus, vaccine, is usually administered as part of the DPT/DT/TT (Dipetheria, Tetanus & Pertussis, and Tetanus) shot, and is intramuscular.
TTI - Tetanus Toxoid Injection
One combines the HIB vaccine with meningococcal vaccine, and the other with tetanus vaccine.
