III. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE: Td and Tdap: Tenivac®, Boostrix ®and Adacel® A. All persons ≥10 years of age who have not received Tdap should receive a single dose of Tdap at the first opportunity, regardless of whether and when they have received a Td booster. If a Tdap is given as part of wound management to a person ≥10 years of age, the
next Td booster should not be administered for 10 years. 7*
If Td is indicated but unavailable, Tdap should be administered in place of Td, and administration should include persons who previously received Tdap.7
B. Persons ≥7 years old with*, ◊:
• No documentation of a childhood Diphtheria Tetanus or acellular Pertussis schedule; or,
• Unknown vaccination status
These patients should receive one dose of Tdap. Any additional doses needed to complete a primary tetanus/diphtheria vaccination series should be Td vaccine.5 * This recommendation also applies to unvaccinated adults ≥65 years of age (FDA approved for Boostrix®, but either Tdap vaccine product can be used).12
◊A 7–10 year old may have a TdaP as part of the catch-up schedule and then receive an adolescent dose at 11–12 years of age.14
C. Pregnant women should be vaccinated during each pregnancy with Tdap to prevent pertussis in the infant.8
• Pregnant women who never have been vaccinated against tetanus should receive three doses of tetanus and diphtheria-containing vaccine. The recommended schedule is at times 0, 4 weeks, and 6–12 months.
• Tdap should replace 1 dose of Td, preferably at 27–36 weeks’ gestation.8
• For wound management, Tdap may be administered any time during pregnancy. Vaccination during the third trimester provides the highest concentration of maternal antibodies to be transferred closer to birth. After receipt of Tdap, a minimum of 2 weeks is required to mount a maximal immune response to the vaccine antigens.8

Revised 07-2017
• If Tdap is not administered during pregnancy; it should be administered immediately postpartum. The postpartum dose is only recommended for women who have not previously received Tdap.8
D. All health care personnel, regardless of age, should receive a single dose of Tdap regardless of the date since their last Td dose 12
E. Wound Management: Use Tdap for routine tetanus and diphtheria booster or wound management if no prior Tdap dose.13
F. Persons experiencing an Arthus-type hypersensitivity reaction or a fever higher than 103°F (39.4°C) following a prior dose of tetanus toxoid usually have high serum tetanus antitoxin levels. Because these persons are at increased risk of hypersensitive reaction to immunization, do not give them DT or emergency doses of Td more frequently than every 10 years, even if
they have a wound that is neither clean nor minor.1-4
G. Administer Tdap (or Td) simultaneously with other vaccines when indicated and available.14

* For unvaccinated persons ≥7 years of age (including persons who cannot document prior
vaccinations), the primary series is three doses.8
◊ For retrospective checking, doses that violate the minimum interval or age by 4 or fewer days do not need to be repeated. Doses administered 5 days or earlier than the minimum
interval or age should be repeated, as age-appropriate.14
§ Persons ≥7 years of age who have not completed the DTP/DT/DTaP series should have
previous doses counted and should complete the series using Tdap or Td.8
‡ If the 3rd dose of a tetanus and diphtheria-containing vaccine (includes previous doses of DTaP, DTP or DT) is administered on or after the 7th birthday, and the 1st dose was given at ≥1 year of age, a 4th dose is not required as long as dose 3 was given at least 6 months after dose two. If the 1st dose was given at <1 year of age, a total of 4 doses are needed for the initial
series. The minimum interval between doses 3 and 4 is 6 months.5
** The first booster dose may be given at 10–18 years of age if ≥5 years have elapsed since the last dose of a tetanus-containing vaccine. If Tdap was part of the initial series and was given to a person ≥10 years of age, the next booster dose is due ≥10 years after the last dose of tetanus-containing vaccine.8

** Adolescents who have never been vaccinated against tetanus, diphtheria or pertussis should receive a series of 3 vaccinations. The preferred schedule is a single Tdap dose, followed by a dose of Td 4 to 8 weeks after the Tdap dose and a second dose of Td ≥6 months after the Td dose. However, Tdap may substitute for any one (and only one) of the 3 Td doses
in the series.12
◊◊ A single Tdap dose should replace the currently recommended Td vaccine that is used as the adult booster vaccine. When another tetanus and diphtheria booster is needed, Td should
be administered.8, 12
§§ Grandparents, child-care providers, health-care providers, and other unvaccinated adults in contact with infants <1 year of age should receive a Tdap booster. Either Boostrix or
Adacel may be used for ≥65 years of age.7
‡‡“To ensure protection against maternal and neonatal tetanus, pregnant women who never have been vaccinated against tetanus should receive three vaccinations containing tetanus and reduced diphtheria toxoids. The recommended schedule is 0, 4 weeks, and 6 through 12 months. Tdap should replace 1 dose of Td, preferably between 27 and 36 weeks gestation to
maximize the maternal antibody response and passive antibody transfer to the infant."11

V. Tdap and Td CONTRAINDICATIONS 2, 3, 4
1. Severe allergic reaction to any vaccine component of Td or Tdap vaccine or following a prior
dose.*
2. Encephalopathy (e.g. coma, prolonged seizures) within 7 days of administration of a pertussis-containing vaccine that is not attributable to another identifiable cause is a
contraindication to Tdap.◊
* Because of the importance of tetanus vaccination, individuals with this history should be referred to an allergist to determine whether they can be desensitized to tetanus toxoid.
◊ Td vaccines should be administered for the remaining doses in the vaccination schedule to ensure protection against diphtheria and tetanus.
VI. Tdap and Td PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
1. Persons who experience an Arthus-type reaction following a previous dose of a tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine should not receive a tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine more
frequently than every 10 years, even for tetanus prophylaxis as part of wound management.1, 2
2. History of an Arthus-type hypersensitivity reaction following a previous dose of tetanus or
diphtheria toxoid-containing vaccines, including MCV4 (Menactra® or Menveo®).3
3. Unstable neurological condition, uncontrolled epilepsy, or progressive encephalopathy. 1, 2
4. Severe latex allergy. (The Boostrix pre-filled needleless syringes contain latex, as do tip
caps of Tenivac.)1, 3
5. History of Guillain-Barré syndrome within 6 weeks after a previous dose of tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine.1-4
6. ACIP does not consider a history of brachial neuritis to be a precaution or contraindication for administration of tetanus toxoid--containing vaccines.4

VIII. A. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS FOR DT
A. Epinephrine Injection (1:1000) and other appropriate agents and equipment must be available for immediate use in case an anaphylactic or acute hypersensitivity reaction
occurs.14
B. Normally no more than 6 doses of a diphtheria/tetanus-containing vaccine are recommended by 7 years of age. However, in some situations, the benefits of a pertussis containing vaccine being added to a DT series needs to be weighed against the risk of a local reaction occurring after receiving 7 or 8 doses of a DT-containing
vaccine.13
C. Infants under 12 months of age: Should additional doses of pertussis-containing vaccine become contraindicated after a DTP/DTaP series has been initiated, DT should be
substituted for each of the remaining scheduled DTP/DTaP doses.14
VIII. B. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS FOR Tdap and Td
A. History of pertussis: Adolescents or adults with a history of pertussis disease generally should receive Tdap according to the routine recommendations. However, if the illness was <5 years ago and the diagnosis was culture confirmed, it is reasonable to wait 3–5 years before
administration of Tdap, unless tetanus and diphtheria toxoids are needed. 6, 17
B.Tetanus disease does not confer immunity because of the very small amount of toxin required to produce illness. Persons recovering from tetanus disease should begin or complete
active immunization with tetanus toxoid (Td) during convalescence.8
C. Inadvertent administration of Tdap or Pediatric DTaP: Adults who inadvertently receive DTaP do not need to be revaccinated. Tdap doses given to children inadvertently for doses 1, 2 or 3 of the primary DTaP series need to be repeated with DTaP. If Tdap was inadvertently
given for dose 4 or 5 of the primary DTaP series, it does not need to be repeated.3

◊ For children younger than 7 years of age, DTaP is recommended; if pertussis vaccine is contraindicated, DT is given. For persons 7-9 years of age Td is recommended. For persons >10 years, Tdap is preferred to Td if the patient has never received Tdap and has no contraindication to pertussis vaccine. For persons 7 years of age or older, if Tdap is not available or not indicated because of age, Td is preferred to TT. § TIG is human tetanus immune globulin. Equine tetanus antitoxin should be used when TIG is not available.
‡ If only three doses of fluid toxoid have been received, a fourth dose of toxoid, preferably an adsorbed toxoid, should be given. Although licensed, fluid tetanus toxoid is rarely used.
