Mortality rate up to 70%: doctors warn of the danger of tetanus after injuries

Lyubov Makhota, Director General of the Kharkiv Regional Center for Disease Control and Prevention, stressed that victims of shelling are threatened, among other things, by a deadly disease — tetanus.

After one of the attacks on Kharkov, her colleague was injured in fragments. The wreckage was rusty and dirty. “It’s good that I managed to get a tetanus shot,” she said after the injury.

Makhota reminded that tetanus vaccination should be repeated every 10 years.
