  • Title: [Tetanus in Poland in 2009].
    Author: Zieliński A.
    Journal: Przegl Epidemiol; 2011; 65(2):271-2. PubMed ID: 21913473.
    Abstract:
    In 2009, 19 cases of tetanus (10 women and 9 men) were reported in Poland. Except for two cases in males at age 20-29 most of those cases were among people of age 60 or more. In 2009 4 deaths were recorded. All cases were unvaccinated or vaccination status was unknown. Only in 2 cases post exposure anatoxine was applied. Younger age groups were spared which indicated effectiveness of vaccination program for those groups. There is a need for promotion of vaccinations in older age groups, which are mostly affected, and also are of the risk of death from tetanus.
