Your goal is to design a vaccine that will protect vaccinated individuals from disease caused by the infectious agents listed below. This does not always mean you need “sterilizing immunity” (protection from infection), although in some cases this might be your goal.
Tetanus: Tetanus is caused by an infection with the bacterium Clostridium tetani, commonly found in soil, dust, and manure. Spores of the C. tetani can remain infectious for more than 40 years. You can get tetanus when the spores enter your body through an injury or wound, especially via a contaminated object. C. tetani produces a toxin that interferes with muscle contractions, resulting in the symptoms that can lead to permanent contraction (lockjaw) and death. The agent does not spread between people.
