Sarasota Tetanus Vaccines Services at Lavender Urgent Care & Wellness

Lavender Urgent Care & Wellness provides on-site tetanus shots that protect against Clostridium tetani, the bacterial cause of tetanus, also called lockjaw. When a patient becomes infected, they experience very painful muscle contractions or spasms. The neck and jaw muscles tense up so much that it makes it difficult to open the mouth and causes potential difficulty with breathing.

Tetanus has no cure, so it’s imperative to have an up-to-date tetanus shot. Schedule your consultation now or walk right in!

Lavender Urgent Care FAQs

Common symptoms include painful muscle spasms, stiffness or rigidity in the jaw, and difficulty swallowing. If the disease progresses, additional symptoms may include fever, sweating, significantly higher or lower blood pressure, and increased heart rate.

Tetanus has no cure, and the infection causes severe muscle contractions and spasms. An up-to-date tetanus shot is crucial for protection against Clostridium tetani, the bacteria that causes tetanus.

You can schedule a consultation or walk right in to get a tetanus shot. Our facility offers on-site tetanus vaccinations to ensure you are protected against this serious bacterial infection.
