title: Preventing tetanus in adults in general practice.
abstract: Tetanus statistics in England and Wales are quoted to show the desirability of widening the population to whom tetanus immunisation is offered. Yhr inclusion of a health educationalist in the general-practitioner team to achieve this is advocated. Methods of obtaining an increased acceptance of immunisation by waiting-room education alone, by waiting-room education with general-practitioner involvement, and by general-practitioner involvement alone were explored and are discussed.
