What Is Inside the ADACEL Formulation?

Each 0.5 mL dose contains purified antigens for three diseases.

ADACEL is a non-live vaccine and cannot cause infection.

How Does the ADACEL Vaccine Work?

ADACEL works by stimulating the immune system to produce protective antibodies against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis.

These antibodies:

• Maintain long-term immune protection

As a booster, ADACEL reactivates immune memory, ensuring continued protection beyond childhood vaccination.
