Answer:
Tetanus is caused by a neurotoxin produced by the spore-forming bacterium Clostridium tetani. Tetanus is unique among the vaccine preventable diseases in that it is not communicable. Disease occurs when the ubiquitous C. tetani spores are introduced into the hypo-aerobic conditions of devitalized tissue and puncture wounds, where they germinate and produce a neurotoxin. The inactivated toxin, termed tetanus toxoid, effectively induces antibody production and vaccines became commercially available already in 1938.
Military recruits were among the first to be routinely immunised in Europe and the vaccine was later introduced to childhood immunisation programmes. Tetanus is rare in Europe today and predominantly a disease of unvaccinated or partly vaccinated risk groups, including women born before the start of routine childhood immunisation.
