Unlike many infectious diseases, recovery from naturally acquired<unk>  does not usually result in immunity to<unk> . This is due to the extreme potency of the<unk> pasmin toxin.<unk> pasmin will likely be lethal before it will provoke an immune response.<unk>  can be prevented by vaccination with<unk>  toxoid. The CDC recommends that adults receive a booster vaccine every ten years, and standard care practice in many places is to give the booster to any person with a puncture wound who is uncertain of when he or she was last vaccinated, or if he or she has had fewer than three lifetime doses of the vaccine. The booster may not prevent a potentially fatal case of<unk>  from the current wound, however, as it can take up to two weeks for<unk>  antibodies to form. In children under the age of seven, the<unk>  vaccine is often administered as a combined vaccine, DPT/DTaP vaccine, which also includes vaccines against diphtheria and pertussis. For adults and children over seven, the Td vaccine<unk>  and diphtheria) or Tdap<unk> , diphtheria, and acellular pertussis) is commonly used. The World Health Organization certifies countries as having eliminated maternal or neonatal<unk> . Certification requires at least two years of rates of less than 1 case per 1,000 live births. In 1998 in Uganda, 3,433<unk>  cases were recorded in newborn babies; of these, 2,403 died. After a major public health effort, Uganda in 2011 was certified as having eliminated maternal and neonatal<unk> . Post-exposure prophylaxis<unk>  toxoid can be given in case of suspected exposure to<unk> . In such cases, it can be given with or without<unk>  immunoglobulin (also called<unk>  antibodies or<unk>  antitoxin). It can be given as intravenous therapy or by intramuscular injection. The guidelines for such events in the United States for non-pregnant people 11 years and older are as follows: Vaccination status Clean, minor wounds All other wounds Unknown or less than 3 doses of<unk>  toxoid containing vaccine Tdap and recommend catch-up vaccination Tdap and recommend catch-up vaccination<unk>  immunoglobulin 3 or more doses of<unk>  toxoid containing vaccine AND less than 5 years since the last dose No indication No indication 3 or more doses of<unk>  toxoid containing vaccine AND 5–10 years since the last dose No indication Tdap preferred (if not yet received) or Td 3 or more doses of<unk>  toxoid containing vaccine AND more than 10 years since the last dose Tdap preferred (if not yet received) or Td Tdap preferred (if not yet received) or Td
