Adacel/Tdap › Services

ADACEL vaccine has been designed specifically to protect adolescents and adults 11 through 64 years from tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. It is similar to DAPTACEL® (Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed), a diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccine used to protect infants and young children.

In clinical studies, DAPTACEL vaccine has been shown to provide1:

• 85% efficacy against severe pertussis (cough lasting 21 days or longer)



• 78% efficacy against all severities of pertussis

 In addition to pertussis, ADACEL vaccine helps protect against two other serious diseases-Tetanus and Diphtheria.
