Why is aN ANTI tetanus vaccination given?

Tetanus is a serious bacterial infection that can lead to severe muscle spasms, difficulty breathing, and even death. Tetanus is caused by a bacteria called Clostridium tetani, which is found in soil, dust, and manure. Tetanus spores can enter the body through cuts, puncture wounds, or burns.

An anti-tetanus vaccination is given to protect against tetanus infection. The tetanus vaccine contains a weakened form of the tetanus toxin, which stimulates the body's immune system to produce antibodies against the toxin. If you are vaccinated against tetanus, your body will be able to fight off the tetanus bacteria and prevent you from developing the disease.
