Tetanus is a preventable disease with proper immunization. The marked decline in the incidence over the past several decades has resulted from widespread use of tetanus prophylaxis and improved wound management in the emergency department. Emergency physicians are among the most frequent providers of tetanus vaccination. We can stress the importance of proper immunization and encourage patients to keep accurate immunization records. This can maximize protection of patients from tetanus, and minimize adverse reactions from excessive administration of booster. Tetanus can be fatal even with proper treatment. Vital treatment measures can easily be completed in the emergency department.
