Answer The link you have given is not working. Please copy the article, paste on MS Word and send me at mtariqsalman[at the rate]gmail.com. Tetanus immune globulin (TIG) is used to provide passive immunity to tetanus as part of a postexposure prophylaxis regimen following a tetanus-prone wound and also in the treatment of tetanus in conjunction with active immunization with tetanus toxoid adsorbed or anti-infective agents against Clostridium tetani respectively. It only provides short term protection due to passive immunization and is not a substitute for active immunization with tetanus toxoid adsorbed. For effective immunization you need tetanus toxoid adsorbed.
