Summary

This study is creating a quick, non-invasive test that uses a saliva sample to check if a person is protected against tetanus. The test works like a pregnancy test and gives results in 10-15 minutes without needing blood or a lab. Researchers will test it on 390 healthy people, including children, adults, and pregnant women, to see if it accurately shows who has immunity and who might need a vaccine.
