Expert consensus on the use of tetanus vaccines for the high-risk group of post-traumatic tetanus
Tetanus remains a potentially fatal disease with highly severe consequences worldwide.China has eliminated neonatal tetanus since 2012,but post-traumatic tetanus still represents a substantial public health burden.It is of great significance to implement active pre-exposure immunization among the high-risk group of post-traumatic tetanus in China,which can help reduce the burden of post-traumatic tetanus.Based on the World Health Organization's position paper on tetanus vaccines and relevant regulations and standards issued by China.This consensus introduces the pre-exposure immunization prevention strategies for tetanus both domestically and internationally,as well as the definition of a high-risk group of post-traumatic tetanus in China.It also provides recommendations on using active immunological preparation for tetanus,which can be used as a reference for relevant personnel engaged in disease prevention,control,and vaccination.
