Effective prevention is obtained via vaccination with the tetanust toxoid vaccine. Brood mares may be vaccinated one to three months prior to foaling in order to maximise passive immunity to the foal. Recovery from the disease does not provide protection from further infection, therefore the horse must still be vaccinated. | Effective prevention is obtained via vaccination with the tetanust toxoid vaccine.
