prevention of tetanus

The best way to protect yourself is to take a series of tetanus toxoid injections before any injury ever occurs. Prevention is always better than cure. So active immunity is obtained by an injection of tetanus toxoid, 3 injections of monthly intervals beginning from 6 months of age followed by an injection once a year.

Tetanus can be a life taking disease so we should take a preventive measure towards it by taking the tetanus toxoid injection.

Tetanus could be transmitted form animals like dogs. And if we are bitten by the dog who is not having regular injections Then we definitely need to take tetanus injection.
