What are antibodies against tetanus?

Tetanus is a serious disease caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. Tetanus vaccination is mandatory in the Czech Republic, and revaccination every 10-15 years is recommended for adults.

When should I get tested?

Before revaccination, it is advisable to have your antibody levels measured.

What will the examination tell us?

The examination determines whether vaccination is necessary (low levels) or whether the antibody level is sufficient. The IgG antibody level will indicate how well the body is protected after the last vaccination and whether revaccination is necessary.
