Answer:
A vaccine is a preparation that consists of either heat killed, or live attenuated strains of virus or bacteria, that is administered either orally or by injection, in the recipient with the aim of developing immunity in the recipient. The major component for the vaccine of tetanus is the heat killed or the living, but weakened germs of tetanus toxoid, which is administered as an injection. The vaccine for tetanus is generally given as a triple vaccine DTP, which is the vaccine for Diphtheria, Pertussis or Whooping Cough and Tetanus.
