So even though it's a rare disease,
tetanus can be a killer.
The lesson to be learned from it
is to take advantage of the protec-
tion that medical, science affords ,us.
If you do happen to cut your finger
on an old can or put a pitchfork
through your foot,'and you've kept -
your tetanus iminunization up-to-
date, you may require only a
booster dose; but for someone, with-
out previous -immunity, ' the first
dose doesn't give sufficient imme-
diate response to prevent tetanus
folloWing the injury. In this Situa.:
tion an injection of tetanus immune
globulin is usually given as well as
the first tetanus toxoid dose. It is
important to follow through with
the rest of the tetanus toxoid'series
so this proCess doesn't have to be
repeated with :a subseqbent injury. •
This raises the whole question of
knowing just what immunization
you *have, or don't have.
Certainly, keeping records repre-
sents a sensible investment in your,
fixture health — and it doesn't have
to be.a laborious process: a simple
listing, carefully filed away, is all
you need. Ask .Your doctor how
often booster delses are required
against diseases like tetanus, and
then make sure that you (and your
children) are taking full advantage
of the available protection.
The tetanus Organism is in the
soil everywhere, 'so it's quite 'easily
acquired. But it doesn't have to be
dangerous. The Means to prevent
tetanus are readily, available, •
