by vaccination (injection)
for tetanus
NO
TTI - Tetanus Toxoid Injection
no
No. By injection only.
Even to day, some one comes and ask for ATS injection. Anti tetanus serum injection is very dangerous to give. The patient may get the anaphylactic reaction. This preparation is no longer used. Any serum preparation is dangerous. You need to be protected by anti tetanus injection. With proper wound care the anti tetanus serum is not required.
It would be a good Idea to get one just in case. I believe that in some countries (e.g. the UK) there is routine inoculation provided for tetanus.
Diazepam and methocarbamol are also used by injection for relief of tetanus.
Tetanus Toxoide
Active immunity, specifically artificial active immunity, results from the injection of tetanus toxoid. This means that the body produces its own antibodies against the tetanus toxoid.
A tetanus vaccine injection can cause swelling of the arm. If it doesn't get better in a day, talk to the doctor.
