Indication

DAPTACEL vaccine is given to infants and children 6 weeks through 6 years of age (prior to 7th birthday) to prevent three serious diseases: diphtheria, tetanus (lockjaw), and pertussis (whooping cough) as a five-dose series.

Safety Information

Side effects to DAPTACEL vaccine include injection site redness, swelling, and tenderness; fever, fussiness, drowsiness, and crying more than usual. Other side effects may occur. DAPTACEL vaccine should not be given to children who, after a previous dose of the vaccine, have had a serious allergic reaction (anaphylactic reaction) or inflammation of the brain (encephalopathy) not attributable to another cause. Tell the doctor if your child has ever experienced a severe brain disorder, such as encephalopathy (altered consciousness) or Guillain-Barré syndrome (severe muscle weakness), after a previous dose of a tetanus toxoid- or pertussis-containing vaccine. Vaccination with DAPTACEL vaccine may not protect all individuals.
