How exactly do tetanus shots work?

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?

It’s a vaccine against Clostridium Tetani that works like most vaccines.

Shot has marker/parts of/ dead version so immune system gets a trial run at recognizing and killing invader pathogen. That way when the live version saunters in via wound/rusty metal etc, the body is ready with a “loaded gun”.
