Diphtheria and tetanus are serious bacterial infections that can cause severe illness and even death. The vaccines contain inactivated toxins produced by the bacteria that cause these diseases. These toxins are adsorbed onto an aluminum salt, which helps enhance the immune response to the vaccine.

These vaccines are usually given as a series of doses, starting in infancy and continuing through childhood. They are also recommended for adults who have not received a recent booster dose.
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for specific recommendations regarding the administration of Adsorbed Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids, as well as any potential side effects or contraindications.
