How exactly do tetanus shots work?

Question

I know is it’s a shot for wounds that potentially could have rust or something else that you wouldn’t want in an open wound. But how do they work?

Answer 1

To build on what’s already stated, most people were immunized in the younger years. A booster is recommended every 10 years after that. So if you step on a rusty nail and it’s been over 10 years since your last shot. They typically give you the vaccine.
