Answer:

E) The tetanus immune globulin provides immediate, short-term protection, and the tetanus vaccine provides long-term protection.

Explanation:

Basically, immunization is very important and necessary to protect the person from diseases.

In the above scenario, individual who is injured with severe lacerations does not have any history of previous tetanus vaccination. Because vaccination is for long term protection but it also take time to produce antibodies in an individual. Individual is injured and can have risk of tetanus.

So, along with vaccine we will administered the tetanus immune globulin to provide immediate, short term protection against tetanus.
