You absolutely can die from tetanus if you do not receive the treatment, which is a LONG and painful process. In fact, that's why everyone is so adamant that you receive the vaccine known as a "tetanus shot."
No. Tetanus is a rare but often fatal disease that affects the central nervous system by causing painful muscular contractions. It begins when tetanus bacteria enter the body, usually through a wound or cut exposed to contaminated soil.
Yes. This is due partly to how deadly the tetanospasmin toxin is; even a lethal dose may not be enough to provoke an immune reaction, so the body does not develop an immunity from being exposed.
Considering, that all shots should NOT be taken while being sick, because the reactions can be quite harm full, try not to take the tetanus shot if you are sick, unless you want to risk getting a reaction.
I hope this helps you a bit.
This would be unlikely, as current tetanus vaccines are effective for about ten years.
yes an get tetnus more than once its called retetnus its a proven fact to get it the second time it is more serious.
no
no.. when you get a vaccine it gives you a little bit of the bacteria from the disease so your body builds an immunity to it. So no, the tetanus vaccine DOES NOT kill tetanus organisms, but deposits tetanus into your body! sounds crazy right?
In my area, tetanus vaccine is given at any time of day.

The TT, or tetanus, vaccine, is usually administered as part of the DPT/DT/TT (Dipetheria, Tetanus & Pertussis, and Tetanus) shot, and is intramuscular.

One combines the HIB vaccine with meningococcal vaccine, and the other with tetanus vaccine.
