There are nearly no similarities, at all, with the exception of location. Tetanus is a disease that can cramp and lock your jaw muscles, preventing normal eating.

TMJ is an abbreviation for your jaw joint, just under your ear. TMJ stands for 'temporo-mandibular joint. When people say, "I have TMJ", they really mean that they have a TMJ disorder which can range from the TMJ popping when the mouth is opened or closed all the way to an actual dislocation of the TMJ when the mouth is opened or closed.

What are the indications for anti tetanus vaccine?

The CDC has issued standard recommendations for the anti tetanus vaccine. keep in mind there is a difference between the vaccine (TD) and the immunoglobulin (TIG). If the individual has had 3 or more vaccinations in the past, then you would give the vaccination only if they had not received their last vaccination within the past 10 years (for non tetanus prone wounds) or 5 years (for tetanus prone wounds. he immunoglobulin (TIG) is given only to individuals with tetanus prone wounds who have had less than 3 previous vaccinations (or unknown status). Hope this helps. Shaun Cole
