Answers
Answer:
A communicable disease is one that is spread from one person to another through a variety of ways that include: contact with blood and bodily fluids; breathing in an airborne virus; or by being bitten by an insect.
Vaccination and good wound care are important to help prevent tetanus infection. Doctors can also use a medicine to help prevent tetanus in cases where someone is seriously hurt and doesn't have protection from tetanus vaccines.

Explanation:
Tetanus is a serious but rare condition caused by bacteria getting into a wound.
The bacteria can get into your body through:
cuts and grazes
tears or splits in the skin
burns
animal bites
body piercings, tattoos and injections
eye injuries
injecting contaminated drugs
Tetanus cannot be spread from person to person.
If you have not been fully immunised for tetanus, or you're not sure whether you have, you may be given a dose of the tetanus vaccine. You may also be given antibiotics.
Tetanus immunoglobulin is a medicine containing antibodies that prevent the tetanus toxin working, stopping its effects on the nerves. It provides immediate, but short-term, protection from tetanus.
