What it is and how it works
Contains full-strength diphtheria toxoid and tetanus toxoid adsorbed on an aluminium adjuvant. It stimulates production of antitoxin antibodies that neutralise diphtheria and tetanus toxins.
Indications
Immunisation of children (generally under 7 years) against diphtheria and tetanus, particularly when the pertussis component is contraindicated.
Dosage and administration (summary)
0.5 mL by intramuscular injection according to the national immunisation schedule.
Contraindications
Anaphylaxis after a previous dose or to any component; neurological complications after a previous dose of diphtheria or tetanus toxoid.
Warnings and precautions
Postpone in acute severe febrile illness. Local reactions and fever may occur; anaphylaxis treatment must be available. Because of the high diphtheria toxoid content, it is not suitable for older children and adults, who should receive Td.
