Tetanus antitoxin is given as prophylaxis to the persons at risk with infected wounds, wounds contaminated with soil or mud, deep or punctured wounds and wounds with devitalising tissue damages. A dose of 1,500 IU should be given subcutaneously or intramuscularly as early as possible after the wound is received. The tetanus vaccine doesn't provide lifelong immunity. Protection begins to decrease after about 10 years, which is why doctors advise booster shots every decade. A doctor may recommend children and adults get a booster shot earlier if there's a suspicion they may have been exposed to tetanus-causing spores.
