Tetanus Easy To Prevent

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen Tetanus (lockjaw) is easy to prevent but difficult to treat aft- er it occurs. We rely upon pro- phy’ because the few who contract the disease go

from painful spasms of the mus- cles of the neck, face, and jaw. One out of five afflicted children die and the rate is much higher

in adults. e United ites T public health “bervice re more than 250 cases last year. Wise parents keep track of their offspring’s immunity stat- us because booster doses are necessary from time totim e. Most children ané_younger adults are partially protected because of the tetanus toxoid

munization. All they need when injured is another booster dose to bring their immunity to fight- ing strength. 4
