Tetanus Vaccination

Canada has had long-standing tetanus immunization programs; it is a readily available vaccine. Workers in the animal care, and agriculture industries are at the highest risk for infection and should have an up-to-date tetanus vaccine record. Setting up a tetanus vaccine clinic is a preventative safety measure you can take to ensure infection rates remain at zero.
