Description
Td Adult Vaccine: Dual Defense Against Tetanus and Diphtheria
Providing comprehensive protection against Tetanus and Diphtheria, the Td Adult Vaccine is a critical preventive measure for individuals aged 7 and above. Carefully formulated to deliver high effectiveness, the vaccine encompasses 4.0 International Units of diphtheria toxoid and 40 International Units of tetanus toxoid per 0.5ml dose.
Developed with refined tetanus and diphtheria toxoids, the vaccine maintains its longevity and quality thanks to the addition of Thiomersal, a commonly used vaccine preservative. For enhanced potency, the toxoids are adsorbed onto aluminum phosphate, further solidifying the vaccine's protective properties.
Primary Features:
- Composed of purified tetanus and diphtheria toxoids for maximal effectiveness.
- Thiomersal is included to ensure long-lasting efficacy.
- Designed meticulously with toxoids adsorbed onto Aluminum Phosphate for a potent defense mechanism.
- Indicated for active immunization against tetanus and diphtheria, thereby serving as a shield against these diseases.
- Applicable for use in adults and children aged 7 and onwards.
Administration and Storage:
- Administer the vaccine via intramuscular injection after a thorough shaking of the vial, adhering to recommended immunization protocols.
- Specifically designed for storage between 2°C and 8°C. This ensures the vaccine's durability and sustained effectiveness.
Immunization Guidance:
- A series of two 0.5ml doses is required for primary immunization. These doses should be administered at least four weeks apart.
- A third dose is recommended six months after the second dose for sustained immunization effects.
- Can also serve as a booster after a DTP or Td primary immunization course.
Handling Recommendations:
- Keep the vaccine from freezing and store in a cool environment, away from light to maintain potency and durability.
