About Betatnus Vaccine

TETANUS TOXOID is a  toxoid vaccine that belongs to the category of medicine called immunizing agent used to prevent tetanus (also known as lockjaw). Tetanus is caused by bacteria that enter the body through deep cuts, wounds, or burns affecting the nervous system. Symptoms of tetanus infection are painful muscle contractions, particularly of jaw and neck muscle, and lockjaw. Ultimately, breathing becomes more difficult, and spasms occur more frequently.  People of all ages can get tetanus. But the disease is particularly common and serious in newborn babies.

TETANUS TOXOID contains “Tetanus Toxoid’ that helps develop immunity by initiating a mild infection. This type of infection does not cause illness, but it does stimulate the body's immune system to produce antibodies to protect against future infections.
