TETANUS
CAN BE A KILLER!

IT IS DIFFICULT TO CURE, BUT

EASY TO PREVENT

Protection is available to everyone in New Zealand. Your own Doctor or the Medical Officer of Health in your area will advise you.

IMMUNISATION IS SAFE AND SIMPLE

It consists of two or three primary injections given at 4 to 6 week intervals, and a reinforcing dose 6 to 12 months later. With subsequent booster doses every 10 years a high degree of protection is assured.

The Department of Health strongly advises all those who have not had this protection to ACT NOW!

REMEMBER — anyone at any time may be exposed to the risk of tetanus infection.

BE WISE! BE IMMUNISED
