We studied the interactions of hepatitis B vaccine with other vaccines used in the World Health Organization expanded programs of immunization. Three groups of Senegalese children were vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine (HB) alone, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP)-polio vaccine alone, or a combination of hepatitis B vaccine and DTP-polio vaccines simultaneously. The immune responses to HBsAg...

CONTEXT Increasing reports of pertussis among US adolescents, adults, and their infant contacts have stimulated vaccine development for older age groups. OBJECTIVE To assess the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of a tetanus-diphtheria 5-component (pertussis toxoid, filamentous hemagglutinin, pertactin, and fimbriae types 2 and 3) acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) in adolescents and adults. ...

DESCRIPTION DAPTACELTM, Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed, for intramuscular use, manufactured by Aventis Pasteur Limited, is a sterile suspension of pertussis antigens and diphtheria and tetanus toxoids adsorbed on aluminum phosphate in a sterile isotonic sodium chloride solution. After shaking, the vaccine is a white homogeneous cloudy suspension. Each do...

The temperatures of 587 children were taken before and after diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis (DTP) or diphtheria/tetanus (DT) vaccine. Only slight temperature increases were found but these were notably more frequent after plain than adsorbed DTP vaccine preparations and the frequency increased with each successive dose.

In Canada, the fifth dose of the routine childhood immunization schedule against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and polio is given at 4-6 years of age. Up to 30% of children may have significant local reactions (redness, swelling) and this may be related to pertussis and diphtheria antigen content. We sought to determine if a combination product with lower content of pertussis and diphtheria to...

background: hepatitis b virus (hbv) fails to produce appropriate immune responses in some healthy individuals; thus, different strategies have been adopted to promote immune responses. the current study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of hbv vaccine coadministered with tetanus-diphtheria (td) vaccine compared with hbv vaccine in healthy individuals through measuring hepatitis b surface antibod...

We measured the tetanus and diphtheria antitoxin responses after administration of one dose of a mixed carrier (tetanus and diphtheria toxoids) 11-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PncDT) in 20 Finnish adults (mean age 26.1 years) and 20 Finnish (mean age 23.2 months) and 23 Israeli (mean age 18.5 months) toddlers. The vaccinees had previously been immunised with multiple doses of vaccines...

In Japan, mass vaccination for diphtheria, pertussis, and/or tetanus has been mandated by the Vaccination Law since 1948. In order to evaluate the efficacy of this vaccination policy, we conducted seroepidemiological studies on pertussis, diphtheria, and tetanus among individuals aged 0 - 80 years. The pertussis toxin seropositive rates of the vaccine-eligible groups and vaccine-ineligible grou...
