Viene descritta l'epidemiologia del tetano, passata e presente, e si evidenzia come la sua incidenza risenta della presenza sempre più massiccia di vaccinati - un tempo maschi sotto il servizio militare, più di recente entrambi i sessi, grazie alle vaccinazioni dell'infanzia, prima facoltativa ed oggi obbligatoria.
