## Since 1990, the number of deaths from tetanus has fallen by 88% Over the past three decades we have seen a significant fall in the number of deaths from tetanus globally. You can see this in the visualization. In 1990, 314,000 people died due to tetanus while in 2019 there were less than 35,000 deaths — that's an 87% reduction. <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/number-of-deaths-from-tetanus?tab=chart&country=OWID_WRL"/> ## Most cases of tetanus occur in children under-5 The visualization also shows that the majority of tetanus cases in the past and today occur in children under the age of 5. However, if you switch the relative toggle on the bottom left of the chart, you’ll see that the proportion of cases in children has also fallen, from 76% in 1990 to just below half (49%) in 2017. Notably, if you switch the country in the chart to any high-income region, e.g. Central Europe, you will see that tetanus in children is almost absent in those places. This is in large part due to a highly effective childhood [vaccine](https://ourworldindata.org/vaccination#diseases-preventable-through-vaccination) that we have available for this disease. <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/tetanus-deaths-by-age-group"/> | { "data": { "wpBlock": { "content": "\n<h3>Since 1990, the number of deaths from tetanus has fallen by 88%</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past three decades we have seen a significant fall in the number of deaths from tetanus globally.
