Frequently asked questions

What is Imovax D.T. Adult used for?+
Imovax D.T. Adult is a diphtheria‑tetanus toxoid vaccine indicated to protect adults and adolescents against diphtheria and tetanus infections. It is administered as part of routine immunisation schedules or as a booster to maintain immunity in previously vaccinated individuals.
How does diphtheria and tetanus toxoid work?+
The toxoids are chemically inactivated forms of the diphtheria and tetanus toxins. After injection, they are processed by antigen‑presenting cells, which display fragments to T cells. This triggers B‑cell activation and the generation of specific antibodies that neutralise the natural toxins, providing protective immunity.
What is the usual dose of Imovax D.T. Adult?+
The prescribed dose is determined by the treating healthcare professional. Typically, a single intramuscular or subcutaneous injection is given, with booster doses recommended according to national immunisation guidelines or the patient’s vaccination history.
