    The document provides guidelines for tetanus prophylaxis based on wound classification and vaccination history. For clean minor wounds with unknown or less than 3 prior doses, only tetanus toxoid is recommended to start the primary series. For all other wounds, both tetanus toxoid and passive immunization are recommended. Tetanus toxoid and immunoglobulin should be administered intramuscularly separately based on age-specific dosages. The primary toxoid series consists of doses at initial presentation, 1 month, and 12 months later.
