Tetanus/Diphtheria Immunization

Tetanus is an acute, often fatal, disease that is caused by the poison of a certain bacteria. The bacteria usually enters the body through a wound. Stiff muscles and convulsive spasms are characteristic. The stiffness often begins in the jaw (lockjaw) and neck. Diphtheria might also be considered poisonous bacterium.

Adults need a Td booster shot every 10 years, assuming they had the initial doses as a child. Many adults forget and do not get their boosters until they are injured and realize it's overdue.
