No, the tetanus shot is not made from a dead virus; it is made from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. The tetanus vaccine contains an inactivated form of this toxin, known as tetanospasmin, which has been detoxified so it cannot cause disease but can stimulate an immune response. This helps the body develop immunity against tetanus without causing the illness.
