FOR PATIENTS WITH A TETANUS-PRONE WOUND* AND AN UNKNOWN VACCINATION HISTORY,
WHEN IN DOUBT,
DON'T LEAVE ONE OUT.
A TETANUS VACCINE ALONE IS NOT
ALWAYS ENOUGH.
According to the CDC, the use of a TIG may, if promptly administered, reduce the potentially life-threatening risk of tetanus when administered concomitantly with the tetanus vaccine.1
CDC=Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
*Puncture wounds, deep wounds, burns, frostbite, or any wounds with clinical evidence of sepsis or contamination.2
HyperTET S/D is indicated for prophylaxis against tetanus following injury in patients whose immunization is incomplete or uncertain.
MassBiologics' Tetanus and Diphtheria Toxoids Adsorbed (Td) is a vaccine indicated for active immunization for the prevention of tetanus and diphtheria. This vaccine is approved for use in persons 7 years of age and older.
FOR PATIENTS WITH A TETANUS-PRONE WOUND* AND AN UNKNOWN VACCINATION HISTORY,
A TETANUS VACCINE ALONE IS NOT ALWAYS ENOUGH
Why Use Tetanus Immune Globulin (TIG) in Postexposure Prophylaxis?1,3-5


Td=tetanus and diphtheria
*Puncture wounds, deep wounds, burns, frostbite, or any wounds with clinical evidence of sepsis or contamination.2

Grifols Td vaccine works WITHIN 2 WEEKS but is good for up to 10 years as a booster dose for routine vaccination and postexposure prophylaxis (PEP)4,6*
CDC GUIDELINES FOR TETANUS PEP1
An animal bite or severe dirty wound would leave patients at risk for tetanus1,7

*Tdap vaccine (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) may be substituted for Td vaccine if the person has not previously received Tdap and is aged ?10 years.
According to CDC tetanus surveillance data, an analysis of sufficiently complete case reports of patients with acute wounds who sought medical care revealed that 96% did not receive recommended PEP.8

Detectable passive antibody titers have been observed in patients WITHIN 24 HOURS post injection with immune globulin products such as HyperTET S/D. Peak blood levels of IgG are obtained approximately 48 HOURS post injection.4
Tetanus remains a rare but life-threatening disease in the United States. It leads to death in about 1 in 10 cases.1,9
