Frequently asked questions about Tetanus Toxoid

Q. What type of immunity does Tetvac Injection provide?
Tetvac Injection provides artificial active immunity. This type of immunity is generated when a dead or weakened version of the disease enters the body, causing an immune response which includes the production of antibodies. Vaccination with Tetvac Injection helps to prevent the deadly disease, tetanus.
Q. What is a booster dose or booster vaccine or booster shot?
A booster dose or booster vaccine or booster shot is an additional dose of a vaccine that may have to be administered periodically (usually once every few years) after completing the initial or primary vaccination against certain diseases. This helps to ‘boost’ your immunity against such diseases so that you are adequately protected against them.
Q. Is there a cure for tetanus?
There is no cure for tetanus once a person develops symptoms, just supportive treatment and management of complications can be done in a hospital setup. The best way to treat tetanus is its prevention through vaccination or immunization.
Q. How long does it take to show signs of tetanus after being exposed?
After being exposed, the incubation period varies from 3 to 21 days, with an average of eight days. The further the injury site is from the central nervous system, the longer the incubation period. The shorter the incubation period, the higher the risk of death.
