What is Tetanus?
Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is a serious bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani. The bacteria are found in soil, dust, and animal waste, and they can enter the body through:
Cuts and scrapes
Puncture wounds (e.g. rusty nails)
Animal bites or scratches
Burns or open wounds
Once in the body, the bacteria produce a toxin that affects the nervous system, leading to painful muscle spasms, breathing difficulties, and in severe cases, death.
There is no cure for Tetanus – but it is completely preventable with vaccination.
Do You Need a Tetanus Booster?
In the UK, most people receive Tetanus as part of the NHS childhood immunisation schedule. However, boosters are recommended every 10 years for:
Travellers to countries with limited healthcare access
People working outdoors, including farmers, gardeners, and builders
Anyone with a recent wound or injury, especially if it’s contaminated
Overseas travellers at risk of injury or poor hygiene conditions
If you're unsure when you last had a Tetanus vaccine, we can check and advise whether you’re due for a booster.
