This is an old disease that people no longer get thanks to vaccinations.
We have become complacent because we no longer see people die or suffer horribly from childhood diseases. It used to be very common.
Those who do not get vaccinated are lucky because most of the general population IS vaccinated so unvaccinated individuals are less likely to be exposed to infectious agents from sick people.

Agree! One thing to note about Tetanus in particular though, is that there's no such "lucky" protection from others who have been vaccinated.
It is there in the environment, and unlike so many common microbes, you don't develop any immunity from exposure eg by playing in the dirt.
Why because it is ANAEROBIC and can only multiply when it gets into your bloodstream. At that point sadly it is too late.
