I suspect you may be talking about tetanus toxoid and anti tetanus anti-toxin.
TT tet tox is the routine immunisation and booster designed to develop and retain immunity to tetanus. It takes some time and at least 2 injections to have an effect.
Anti- tetanus anti-toxin is hyper-immune globulin, this is a more dangerous substance, (more likely to cause anaphalaxis). It is only given when it is felt that a patient has no tetanus immunity, and is at real risk of tetanus. Its effect is semi-immediate. It is still carried in casualty departments, but hardly ever used as almost all the population has been covered with TT.

So, approximately now no longer getting the vaccination..... On commonly used, 3 out of each ten adult adult males and ladies who contract tetanus will die. There are sort of 50 to a hundred stated cases of Tetanus each 3 hundred and sixty 5 days in america of a. there is now no longer an replace technique to obtain Tetanus vaccination. this is one very effective vaccination. Others like the flu vacine is often 70% powerful yet this one is surprisingly much a hundred%. Plus the whooping cough vaccine is in maximum tetanus photos now days, so which you might have each. And the super section is you will no longer could desire to get it as quickly as extra for 10 complete years!

Yes, but not exactly. Strictly speaking, the DTP shot kids get consists of diphtheria and tetanus toxoids plus pertussis vaccine. To split hairs, your are immunized against diphtheria and tetanus, and vaccinated against pertussis. Again, I am splitting hairs. The British, and many American medical personnel refer to it as tetanus vaccine.
Sometimes after injury it is advisable to give a person tetanus antiserum. This serum is derived from human volunteers with high levels of tetanus antitoxin in their blood. In former times, horse serum was used, and is still used today where human sources are unavailable. The antiserum is not a vaccine.

They are anti-tetanus...........sometimes people just describe it as a "tetanus" vaccine..........same way as someone would describe a 'flu' vaccine - it is actually 'anti-flu' as it is designed to help your body to produce anti-bodies to fight off the flu - just as the anti-tetanus will help your body 'fight' tetanus...........
