The development of a tetanus vaccine can be attributed to Emil von Behring, who, in the late 19th century, discovered that the toxin produced by the tetanus bacterium could be neutralized by serum from immunized animals. This led to the creation of the first tetanus antitoxin, which was used for prevention and treatment. While there isn't a "cure" for tetanus once contracted, vaccination remains the most effective method for preventing the disease.
