In 2001, 21 cases of tetanus were registered in Poland. The incidence rate of tetanus was 0.04/100,000 population. No neonatal tetanus cases were recorded. All cases except one occurred among peple of age 50 or more. Case fatality rate associated with tetanus was 33.3% and increased with age. All cases were unvaccinated or vaccination status was unknown. The data show effectiveness of vaccination program, but also show need for promotion of post exposure prophylaxis, especially among older people.
