Protect Yourself from Tetanus
Tetanus is a life-threatening bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani, which can enter the body through cuts, wounds, or animal bites.

What Is the Tetanus Vaccine?
The tetanus vaccine is highly effective in preventing tetanus and is typically combined with protection against other diseases, such as diphtheria and polio (Td/IPV vaccine). It is recommended for:
Routine Immunisation: Ensuring you’re up to date with booster doses every 10 years.
Travellers to Remote Areas: Those visiting places where medical care is limited and injury risks are higher.
Adventure Travellers: Individuals engaging in outdoor activities or at risk of cuts, scrapes, or wounds.
The vaccine is given as a single injection and is part of the UK routine immunisation schedule, so many adults may only need a booster.
