Tetanus is an infection that usually enters the body through wounds or punctures. It causes severe spasms of the jaw (lock jaw) and other parts of the body. It can cause stiffness in muscles and difficulty swallowing. Other symptoms include elevated temperature and blood pressure, and sparodically elevated heart rate. In some cases tetanus can result in death.
tetanus PREVENTS lockjaw if this is what you mean
Tetanus toxoid is a vaccine that prevents a person from contracting lockjaw. Lockjaw is a potentially deadly disease because its poison attacks the nervous system.
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.

The TT, or tetanus, vaccine, is usually administered as part of the DPT/DT/TT (Dipetheria, Tetanus & Pertussis, and Tetanus) shot, and is intramuscular.
No, the anti-rabies vaccine and the anti-tetanus vaccine are not directly associated; they are separate vaccines targeting different diseases. The anti-rabies vaccine is administered following a potential rabies exposure, while the anti-tetanus vaccine is given to prevent tetanus infection. However, in some cases of animal bites, if the patient's tetanus vaccination status is not up to date, a tetanus booster may be given alongside the rabies vaccine as part of the treatment protocol. Always consult a healthcare professional for specific recommendations.
One combines the HIB vaccine with meningococcal vaccine, and the other with tetanus vaccine.
