Tetanus vaccination is a simple, effective way to prevent a rare but serious infection. It is especially important for people with wounds contaminated by soil, animal bites, or rusted objects. Boosters restore immunity for those whose protection has waned, and we provide tailored advice for pregnant women, children, and those with medical conditions. Vaccination appointments include discussion of vaccine history, expected side effects, and when to seek further care. Keeping immunisations up to date reduces the risk of severe illness and protects the wider community.
