Purpose: The main goal of the labor is after the done research, on the basis of relevant data to analyze the conducted mandatory immune prophylaxis of tetanus in the Skopje region. In order to achieve this goal, a comparative analysis of the implementation of mandatory vaccination and postexposure immunoprophylaxis of tetanus infections in the Skopje region in the period from 2011 to 2016 should be made. Based on these analyzes, the proposed measures for maintenance and improvement of immunization are carried.
