[Experience in organizing tetanus prevention].

Abstract
Mass immunization against tetanus has been organized in the Livny district of the Orel region. The centralized depository of the registration cards for all the vaccinees has been created at the reception department of the central district hospital. The continuity in the activities of the institutions for prophylaxis and treatment has been established. The immune stratum of the population has reached 80%. The frequency of the injections of tetanus antitoxin in connection with wounds decreased from 96% to 39.2%; as a result the consumption of tetanus antitoxin dropped 2.5-fold. No tetanus cases were registered in the district during the last 4 years.
