    Abstract

    In response to the report 'Immunisation against tetanus following injuries' from the Dutch Health Council, the Dutch College of General Practitioners, the National Coordinating Body for the Control of Infectious Diseases and The Netherlands Vaccine Institute have drawn up guidelines for tetanus prophylaxis in general practice. The number of situations in which the administration of tetanus immunoglobulin or tetanus vaccine is indicated is now considerably lower. Some of the unclear aspects of the report have been further worked out and translated into definite guidelines. The guidelines are not only useful for general practitioners but deserve to be followed by all doctors treating patients with injuries.
