Why is tetanus still a threat in 2025?
Dr Aniruddha Vasant More warns that tetanus, caused by Clostridium tetani found in soil and dust, continues to pose risks even in 2025. The bacteria enter through wounds or unsterile injections, leading to painful spasms and lockjaw. A recent Thane case in a teen underscores the urgent need for timely vaccination and regular booster doses.
