population is almost entirely devoid of active immunization. The position is only slightly better in Australia, though it is to be hoped that the encouragement of immunization in infancy with "triple antigen" is tending to improve the situation. There is also the problem of knowing what immunizing injections any given patient has received. So, for a long time to come reliance for tetanus prophylaxis must be placed mainly on the use of tetanus antitoxin serum, with its attendant risks.
