As Tetanus Vaccination Rates Decline, Doctors Worry About Rising Case Numbers
In 1948, when the tetanus vaccine was first combined with diphtheria and pertussis, 601 cases of tetanus were reported in the U.S. In recent years, that has dropped to about 15 to 28 annual cases. In 2024, however, there were 32 cases. In 2025, at least 37 confirmed cases have been reported.
