Description

Product Name: Adacel® (Tdap)
Manufacturer: Sanofi (specifically, Sanofi Pasteur Limited)
Type of Product: Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed. It is commonly referred to as the “Tdap” booster vaccine.

Presentation: The box contains one single-dose vial of the vaccine suspension.
Volume/Dosage: 1 Dose, which consists of 0.5 mL of fluid.

This is a prescription medical product designed for clinical use. Do not attempt to self-administer this vaccine.

Route of Administration: The packaging explicitly states a dose of “0.5 mL intramuscularly” (I.M.). This means a healthcare professional will inject it deep into a muscle, typically the deltoid muscle of the upper arm.
Preparation: The label on the vial notes that the product should be shaken (“Shake” / “Agitar”). A healthcare provider will shake the vial well to ensure the suspension is uniformly mixed before drawing the liquid into a syringe and administering it.

Disease Prevention: The Tdap vaccine is an immunizing agent used to boost protection against three severe bacterial infections:
- Tetanus (Lockjaw): Causes painful and severe muscle tightening/spasms, often entering the body through cuts or wounds.
- Diphtheria: Causes a thick coating in the back of the throat, leading to severe breathing problems, heart failure, and sometimes death.
- Pertussis (Whooping Cough): A highly contagious respiratory disease known for severe coughing spells that can be particularly dangerous for infants.
Timing/Audience: Adacel is generally administered as a single booster shot for adolescents (usually starting around age 11 or 12) and adults to maintain their immunity. It is also routinely recommended for pregnant individuals during each pregnancy to pass early whooping cough protection to their newborns.

Storage: The vial explicitly warns “Do not freeze” (“No congelar”). Vaccines like Adacel must be strictly stored in a refrigerator (typically between 2°C and 8°C). If the vaccine freezes, it loses its effectiveness and must be discarded.
Allergies/History: A healthcare provider will check a patient’s medical history for severe allergic reactions to previous vaccines or any of its components before giving the shot.
