Immunity to tetanus of a rural population in a Greek county.

Tetanus is still a common problem in countries with poor health conditions. On the contrary, where there is a systematic program of vaccination in children it is very rare. The aim of this study was to check the immunity level of a representative sample of rural people from villages of Achaia County in Southern Greece. Samples were taken from 140 locals during a six-month period (January till July 2002). In each sample, we estimated IgG antibodies against Clostridium tetani toxin. A protection level of 0.1 IU/ml was set. 15.7% of the people had sufficient immunization cover while a statistically significant superiority of immunized men was found. The results of this study revealed low immunity percentage of the examined inhabitants and a vaccination program against the disease has been proposed to the local health authorities.
