Summary

In the last ten years, more than one hundred generalized tetanus cases were declared in France. Most of them were affecting people older than 70 years with an important mortality (around 28%). It is know that the only way to protect ourselves from this disease is the vaccination. In France tetanus vaccination is mandatory since 1940.
