ADACEL® is a sterile isotonic suspension of tetanus and diphtheria toxoids and pertussis antigens adsorbed on aluminum phosphate, for intramuscular injection. Each 0.5 mL dose contains 5 Lf tetanus toxoid, 2 Lf diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis antigens [2.5 mcg detoxified pertussis toxin, 5 mcg filamentous hemagglutinin , 3 mcg pertactin, 5 mcg fimbriae types 2 and 3].

CLINICAL INFORMATION

• Repeat vaccination to boost immunity to diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough) at 5- to 10-year intervals,
