Vaccine Overview
Td
The Td (Tetanus and Diphtheria) vaccine is recommended for adolescents and adults, typically administered as a booster dose every 10 years. This vaccine protects against tetanus (lockjaw) and diphtheria, both serious bacterial infections. Td is crucial for those at risk of injury, particularly in areas with limited healthcare access. The vaccine is typically given intramuscularly, and it helps maintain immunity throughout adulthood, especially in people exposed to potential wound infections.
