Tetanus Vaccine 0.5ml x1 Ampoule

Tetanus vaccine is an immunization used to protect against tetanus, a serious bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani. The bacteria enter the body through cuts, wounds, or injuries and produce a toxin that affects the nervous system, leading to painful muscle stiffness and spasms (“lockjaw”). The vaccine helps the body develop immunity to prevent infection.

Key Benefits:
• Protects against tetanus infection
• Prevents serious complications like muscle spasms and lockjaw
• Recommended after injuries or wounds if vaccination status is unknown
• Part of routine childhood and adult immunization schedules
• Long-term protection with booster doses

Caution:
Administered by injection by a healthcare professional. Mild side effects may include pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site, mild fever, or tiredness. Severe allergic reactions are very rare but require immediate medical attention. Booster doses are needed every 10 years or after certain injuries if protection is uncertain. Not given if there is a known severe allergy to a previous dose unless medically advised. Keep vaccination records updated.
