Is boostrix effective immunity against tetnus if more than ten years have lapsed since the 4 doses of early childhood triple antigen vacinations.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tetanus booster: Boostrix is an appropriate vaccine to administer one time after the primary pediatric series is complete. It is reported to be Category C for administration during pregnancy, but can be administered to pregnant women after 20 weeks.
