          Background

          The United States uses three types of combination vaccines that include protection against tetanus: DTaP, Tdap, and Td. DT vaccine is no longer available in the United States.

          DTaP and Tdap also include protection against diphtheria and pertussis.

          Td also includes protection against diphtheria. Children younger than 7 years of age receive DTaP, while older children and adults receive Tdap or Td.

          The following summarizes CDC's current age-based recommendations for DTaP, Tdap, and Td.
