Hello. If your partner took one of the doses of tetanus vaccine today, is there a possibility that he could pass on the bacteria of this disease to me while kissing a few hours later? Maybe it's a stupid question, but I'm very stressed that I could get infected (I'm currently healing herpes) even though when I was a small child I was vaccinated against tetanus. I don't want to get too stressed and stressed, but is it real? Please reply

In this situation, there is no risk of infection with tetanus. The vaccine contains a toxoid (an anatomin), which is devoid of pathogenicity - that is, after taking the vaccine, a person does not infect with tetanus, nor does he become infected himself. The toxoid has strong antigenic properties and triggers a response from the immune system to produce specific antibodies and triggers mechanisms that enable the formation of immune memory. When the body comes into contact with the bacterium, it will be able to "fight" it and prevent infection.
