Question

Why is an anti-tetanus injection required for a serious incident of abrasion?

Answer 1

An anti-tetanus injection may be required for a serious abrasion because the wound may become contaminated with dirt and bacteria. Tetanus is a serious infection that can enter the body through a wound. Therefore, after a serious abrasion, an anti-tetanus injection may be given on the advice of a doctor to help prevent tetanus infection.
