The toxin spreads around the body through the blood and the lymphatic system, causing spasms and widespread contractions. Without suitable treatment, the disease can be fatal in 30-50% of cases. Vaccination is the only way to prevent the disease. The administration of three doses of vaccine provides very high protection, with effectiveness above 95%. The duration of the protection is approximately 10 years and it is further guaranteed by periodical boosters.
