tetanus vaccine

Tetanus vaccine is a biologic preparation used to induce active immunity against tetanus, a severe disease caused by the neurotoxin tetanospasmin produced by *Clostridium tetani*. The vaccine typically consists of tetanus toxoid, which is the bacterial toxin that has been inactivated (usually with formaldehyde) to eliminate toxicity while preserving its ability to stimulate an immune response. The specific investigational product described in the context is an adsorbed tetanus vaccine developed by AIM Vaccine Co., Ltd. (Aimei Vacin BioPharm), which is currently in Phase I clinical trials to evaluate safety and immunogenicity in healthy adults. Adsorption to aluminum salts (alum) is a common formulation strategy used to enhance the vaccine's immunogenicity by acting as an adjuvant.
