Abstrakt		Tetanus is a rare disease in many European countries and also in Slovenia. Last ten years, from 1988 to 1997, the incidence was 9,6 cases per year in Slovenia. In comparison to other European countries the average incidence was twice higher. The highest incidence in Slovenia has been registered in the region of Nova Gorica. There is a Law on communicable diseases and immunization to achieve high coverage and to reduce the tetanus morbidity. The study has been provided to answer the open questions regarding vaccination policy, coverage and tetanus morbidity to fnd the reasons for low coverage among elderly population and high tetanus incidence in the same group. The data on tetanus vaccination among patients above 65 years of age in the community of Vipava has been evaluated. The study has been focused to the policy statements and immunization practice. The tetanus incidence in Slovenia could be much lower by vaccination coverage improvement. The implementation of good vaccination practice among vaccination providers and health promotion among population is very important.
