Note: The only contraindication to tetanus and diphtheria toxoids for the wounded patient is
a history of neurologic or severe hypersensitivity reaction to a previous dose. Local side
effects alone do not preclude continued use. If a systemic reaction is suspected to represent
allergic hypersensitivity, postpone immunization until appropriate skin testing is performed.
If a contraindication to a tetanus toxoidcontaining preparation exists, consider passive
immunization against tetanus for a tetanus-prone wound.
*M odified from the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
For children younger than 7 yr, diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis vaccine
adsorbed (or diphtheria and tetanus toxoids adsorbed, if pertussis vaccine is contraindicated)
is preferable to tetanus toxoid alone. For persons 7 yr of age and older, Td is preferable to
tetanus toxoid alone.
