The primary prevention for tetanus lockjaw is vaccination. The tetanus vaccine is part of the DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) series for children and the Td (tetanus and diphtheria) booster for adults, which should be administered every 10 years. Additionally, proper wound care and hygiene can help prevent infection from tetanus spores, which are commonly found in soil and dust. It's essential to seek medical attention for deep or dirty wounds to ensure appropriate prophylaxis.
