"Focus on Tetanus Day and protect human health" "What is Tetanus ?" "How long is the effective protection time after the injection of tetanus injection and tetanus vaccine?" On the afternoon of September 9, people who walked into the outpatient hall of the First People's Hospital (hereinafter referred to as the First Hospital of the City) would have a shallow or deep understanding of the prevention and treatment of tetanus day as long as they watched a set of Tetanus Day publicity boards there and participated in the Tetanus Day publicity activities there.

In order to make more people pay attention to tetanus, the Animal Injury Treatment Branch of the China Medical Rescue Association proposed to establish the second Sunday of September each year as "Teta Day". It is hoped that through the joint efforts of all parties, the whole country will prevent and control tetanus, stay away from tetanus, and help the healthy Chinese dream. September 11 this year is my country's first tetanus day.

Tetanus is a toxic disease caused by tetanus. Tetanus is distributed in the environment of our daily life. Any inconspicuous skin and mucosa damage may lead to the occurrence of tetanus diseases. For example, knife cuts, car accident injuries, burns, , scalds, frostbite, as well as cat scratches and dog bites, etc., all have the risk of tetanus infection.

Globally, the mortality rate of tetanus is very high, reaching 30-50%. If diagnosis and treatment intervention is not actively carried out, the severe mortality rate is close to 100%. Even if cured, the patient's quality of survival after recovery will be very poor.

In order to keep patients away from tetanus, the First Hospital of the Municipal Hospital carried out a tetanus prevention and control publicity campaign in its outpatient hall at 4 pm on September 9. The co-organizer of the event was Chengdu Oulin Biotechnology Co., Ltd. . Lian Tao, director of the Emergency Surgery Department of the First Hospital of the Municipal Hospital, presided over the publicity event and delivered an opening speech; Ye Ming, director and chief physician of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, delivered a speech during the event.

In his speech, Ye Ming advocated that when facing various trauma, tetanus should be prevented as soon as possible according to the wound classification. Vaccination with tetanus vaccine is the most economical and effective way to prevent tetanus at present. Tetanus antitoxin and tetanus immunoglobulin are passive immune preparations, with a protection period of only 10-28 days, used for emergency prevention; tetanus vaccine is active immunization and can provide up to 5-10 years of immune protection. According to the vaccination history and wound conditions, it is decided whether it is necessary to use, use alone or use both together, so as to achieve satisfactory prevention effects. We hope that through this tetanus day event, the society will be able to improve the awareness of tetanus disease, and we also hope that through the transmission of tetanus prevention knowledge, the level of tetanus prevention and treatment of medical personnel will be improved.

At the last part of the publicity campaign, Lian Tao interacted with the participants by question-and-answer questions and distributed publicity souvenirs to enthusiastic answerers. (Li Zhengen)
