In TetanusTetanus is a serious bacterial infection that affects the nervous system and causes muscles throughout the body to become stiff and tighten. Boostrix Vaccine helps prevent tetanus infection. It helps the immune system to produce antibodies to fight against tetanus infection. However, it does not provide lifelong protection.
