Tetanus Toxoid Absorbed
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine, including thimerosal, a mercury derivative, is a contraindication to receipt of Tetanus Toxoid absorbed manufactured by Aventis Pasteur Inc. (See DESCRIPTION section.)
It is a contraindication to use this vaccine after anaphylaxis or other serious allergic reaction following a previous dose of this vaccine, any other tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine, or any component of this vaccine. Because of uncertainty as to which component of the vaccine may be responsible, no further vaccination with a tetanus component should be carried out. Alternatively, such individuals may be referred to an allergist for evaluation if further immunizations are to be considered.
