| description | The frequency of tetanus has declined little in the past decade. The majority of cases occur in persons over 50 years of age. A sample of 225 blood donors, between the ages of 50 and 68, from a mixed rural‐suburban county, were tested for tetanus antitoxin levels. Only 14% had protective levels. This low rate indicates the need for increased attention to tetanus immunizations in older adults. |
