What are the side effects of children breaking tetanus shots?

Patient's question:

What are the side effects of children breaking their tetanus shot?

Doctor's answer:

Tetanus is a specific infection caused by the Clostridium tetani invading the human body through skin or mucosal wounds, growing and multiplying in an oxygen-deprived environment, and producing toxins that lead to muscle spasms. Tetanus is an extremely severe disease with a high mortality rate, especially in newborns. Therefore, active comprehensive treatment measures must be taken, including removing the source of toxins, neutralizing free toxins, controlling and relieving spasms, maintaining airway patency, and preventing and treating complications. The side effects and adverse reactions of the tetanus vaccine are mainly allergic reactions.
