About BOOSTRIX

Overview

BOOSTRIX is a noninfectious vaccine supplied in prefilled syringes. It is used as a booster to protect people aged 10 years and older against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough). It is also indicated during the third trimester of pregnancy to help prevent whooping cough in infants younger than 2 months. It stimulates protective antibodies against tetanus and diphtheria toxins, while antibodies against pertussis can pass through the placenta to help protect the infant.

What it treats

- Booster immunization against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough) in people aged 10 years and older. - Immunization during the third trimester of pregnancy to help prevent pertussis in infants younger than 2 months.

Safety information

Side effects

Common side effects in people aged 10 to 64 include pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, headache, tiredness and stomach or bowel symptoms. Adolescents aged 10 to 18 may also have swelling that increases the size of the injected arm. In adults aged 65 and older, injection-site pain was the most common reported side effect. Contact your doctor before vaccination if you have had Guillain-Barré syndrome within six weeks of a previous tetanus-containing vaccine, as another such vaccine, including BOOSTRIX, may increase the risk of this condition. Also tell your doctor about any progressive or unstable neurological condition, which is a reason to postpone vaccination, or any previous Arthus-type reaction, an immune-related hypersensitivity reaction, after a tetanus-containing vaccine. This history affects whether you should receive BOOSTRIX.

Before taking this medicine

BOOSTRIX should not be given to anyone who has had a severe allergic reaction, such as anaphylaxis, to any ingredient in BOOSTRIX or after a previous vaccine containing tetanus, diphtheria or pertussis components. It should also not be given to anyone who developed encephalopathy (a serious disturbance of brain function) within 7 days after a previous pertussis-containing vaccine. Vaccination should be deferred in people with progressive or unstable neurological conditions. Tell the clinician if Guillain-Barré syndrome occurred within 6 weeks after a previous tetanus-containing vaccine, as the risk may be increased with BOOSTRIX. Also tell the clinician about any previous Arthus-type reaction (a severe local immune reaction) after a tetanus-containing vaccine, as this requires vaccination to be delayed.
