That's an unusual situation that probably isn't relevant here. The way that tetanus vaccines work is that they cause the immune system to destroy the extraordinarily neurotoxic tetanospasmin toxin. It's impossible to get a natural immune response because, as the article points out, anyone with enough of it to trigger an immune response is dead. Coronaviruses triggers immunity just fine, the immunity just doesn't last and we don't really know why.
