Combined tetanus, diphtheria, and 5-component pertussis vaccine for use in adolescents and adults
Article Abstract:
The immunogenicity and reactogenicity of a tetanus-diphtheria 5-component acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) in adolescents and adults is assessed. The results indicated that this Tdap vaccine elicited robust immune responses in adolescents and adults to pertussis, tetanus, and diphtheria antigens, while exhibiting an overall safety profile similar to that of a licensed Td vaccine.
