WHAT ADT(TM)
BOOSTER IS USED FOR
ADT™ Booster is a "combination"
vaccine. It helps prevent two
diseases, each caused by a different
infection. The diseases are
•
diphtheria and
•
tetanus.
Both of these infections are serious
and can be life-threatening.
ADT™ Booster is used to vaccinate
children (5 years of age or older) and
adults who have previously received
at least three doses of a vaccine for
primary immunisation against
diphtheria and tetanus. ADT™
Booster is not intended for primary
immunisation against diphtheria and
tetanus.
ADT™ Booster is given as one
additional dose (booster dose) with
intervals according to national
recommendations.
_HOW ADT™ BOOSTER WORKS_
ADT™ Booster works by getting
your body to produce its own
protection against the two types of
bacteria (germs). The germs are those
that cause two different and serious
infections
•
diphtheria and
•
tetanus.
The vaccine does not contain live
germs and cannot give you these
illnesses.
After you have ADT™ Booster, your
body makes substances called
antibodies. These antibodies fight
both the diphtheria and the tetanus
germs. When you come into contact
with these germs, your body is
usually ready to destroy them.
Most people who receive the booster
dose (suitable only if in the past they
have had the full primary course
against diphtheria and tetanus) will

aluminium-hydroxide-adsorbed diphtheria and tetanus toxoids. 

Each 0.5mL dose contains no less than 2 International Units (IU) of
purified 
diphtheria toxoid and no less than 20 IU of purified tetanus toxoid.
