Frequently asked questions

What is Imovax (Td) Adult used for?+
Imovax (Td) Adult is indicated as a booster vaccine for adults to renew protective immunity against the toxins produced by tetanus and diphtheria bacteria. It is administered when the previously received primary series or earlier booster has waned, helping maintain adequate antibody levels.
How does diphtheria and tetanus toxoid work?+
The vaccine contains inactivated diphtheria and tetanus toxoids that are recognized as foreign by the immune system. After injection, antigen‑presenting cells process the toxoids and present them to T‑cells, which activate B‑cells to produce specific IgG antibodies. These antibodies neutralize the natural toxins if the person is later exposed.
What is the usual dose of Imovax (Td) Adult?+
The prescribing healthcare professional determines the appropriate dose and schedule. In routine practice, a single intramuscular injection of the vaccine is given in the deltoid muscle or an appropriate thigh site, with the interval between doses guided by the individual's immunization history.
Is Imovax (Td) Adult safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Data on use of Td vaccines during pregnancy are limited, but the vaccine is not live and is generally considered safe when the benefit of preventing tetanus outweighs potential risks. Breastfeeding is not a contraindication; however, clinicians should evaluate each case and follow local guidelines.
How do I order Imovax (Td) Adult from GNH USA?+
Enquiries can be submitted on the product page at gnh-usa.com by specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams across international markets, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, cold‑chain shipping details and necessary import documentation.
How does Imovax (Td) Adult compare with other Td vaccines?+
Imovax (Td) Adult contains diphtheria and tetanus toxoids adsorbed onto an aluminum‑based adjuvant, similar to other Td formulations. Differences may lie in the specific adjuvant, preservative system, or manufacturing process, but all aim to elicit comparable protective antibody responses when administered according to recommended schedules.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Imovax (Td) Adult?+
The vaccine must be stored refrigerated between 2 °C and 8 °C. It should be kept in the original packaging, protected from light, and must not be frozen or shaken. Proper cold‑chain management during transport and storage is essential to maintain potency.
How is Imovax (Td) Adult administered?+
Imovax (Td) Adult is given by intramuscular injection, typically into the deltoid muscle of the upper arm or the anterolateral thigh in adults. Subcutaneous administration is also acceptable if intramuscular injection is not feasible, following aseptic technique.
What are the most serious risks to watch for with Imovax (Td) Adult?+
Serious adverse events, although rare, include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis and neurological conditions like Guillain‑Barré syndrome. Immediate medical attention is required if symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or rapid onset of muscle weakness occur after vaccination.
Who should not receive Imovax (Td) Adult?+
Individuals with a known severe allergy to any component of the vaccine, including the toxoids or the aluminum adjuvant, should not receive it. Persons who have experienced a previous severe reaction to a tetanus‑diphtheria vaccine should also avoid further doses until evaluated by a specialist.
