Tetanus, also called lockjaw, is a serious infection caused by Clostridium tetani; this bacterium produces a toxin that affects the brain and nervous system, leading to stiffness in the muscles.
If Clostridium tetani spores are deposited in a wound, the neurotoxin interferes with nerves that control muscle movement.
The infection can cause severe muscle spasms, serious breathing difficulties, and can ultimately be fatal.
Although tetanus treatment exists, it is not uniformly effective. The best way to protect against tetanus is to take the vaccine.
The tetanus vaccine
The tetanus vaccine is routinely given to children as part of the DTaP (diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis) shot. The DTaP vaccine consists of five shots, usually given in the arm or thigh of children when they are aged:
- 2 months
- 4 months
- 6 months
- 15 to 18 months
- 4 to 6 years
A booster is normally given between the ages of 11 and 18 years, and then another booster every 10 years. If an individual is traveling to an area where tetanus is common, they should check with a doctor regarding vaccinations.
If anyone receives a deep or dirty wound and has not had a booster shot over the last 5 years, they should have another booster.
