Tetanus (standalone) Vaccine in HORNCHURCH

About this service at Healthcare Pharmacy - Hornchurch

Tetanus is a non-communicable, life-threatening infection caused by neurotoxin-producing Clostridium tetani spores found universally in soil, dirt, dust, and animal feces. The spores enter the body through cuts, animal scratches, splinters, puncture wounds, or burns. Once inside anaerobic tissue, they germinate and release tetanospasmin, causing painful muscle stiffness, jaw spasms ('lockjaw'), respiratory failure, and autonomic instability. Tetanus toxoid vaccination induces neutralizing antitoxin antibodies. A booster is essential for individuals who have sustained a dirty or puncture wound if more than 5 to 10 years have passed since their last dose.
