An antibody preparation that can bind and neutralize unbound tetanospasmin. It supplies passive protection and differs from a vaccine, which induces the recipient’s own immune response.^[ref]

Administration of a vaccine to induce a useful immune response. Receipt of a dose, development of measurable antibodies and protection from disease are distinct endpoints, so vaccination status does not directly measure every part of immunity.

A person's reported intention or willingness to receive a vaccine under the conditions of a question. It is distinct from actual vaccination status. The response depends on the question, time and circumstances; an intention score does not directly measure later receipt or a medical effect.

A record of which vaccinations a person has received at a specified time. A binary categorical variable may collapse this into two recorded categories; the categories alone do not specify number of doses, timing, protective immunity or willingness to receive a vaccine.
