Safety of repeated doses of tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis vaccine in adults and adolescents

Abstract: In light of waning immunity to pertussis following receipt of tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine, maintaining protection may require repeated Tdap vaccination. We evaluated the safety of repeated doses of tetanus-containing vaccine in 68 915 nonpregnant adolescents and adults in the Vaccine Safety Datalink population who had received an initial dose of Tdap. Compared with 7521 subjects who received a subsequent dose of tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria (Td) vaccin… Show more

“…A retrospective VSD study identified 68,915 adolescents and adults who had received an initial dose of Tdap and then received another Td-containing vaccine, either a second Tdap (61,394, 89%) or Td (7,521, 11%). There was no statistically significant increase in medical visits for cellulitis, limb swelling, pain in limb, seizure, cranial nerve disorders, paralytic syndromes, encephalopathy, encephalitis, or meningitis among those who received a subsequent dose of Tdap compared with those who received Td (29).…”

“…Because of limited data on the use of >1 Tdap dose in the catch-up immunization schedule, the work group also considered published and unpublished safety data on receipt of >1 Tdap dose within a 12-month period in both pregnant women and nonpregnant adolescents and adults. Data from public sector orders (CDC, unpublished data, 2019), commercial insurance claims (Truven Health Analytics, unpublished data, 2019), and a published study from the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) (29) were analyzed to assess stakeholders' values attributed to perceived benefits and harms, acceptability, and implementation considerations regarding use of Tdap in place of Td.…”
