Study note

Combined immunisation with toxoid and antitoxin

THE CONTEXT

Combined immunisation for diphtheria and tetanus requires attention to administration sites and the form of toxoid used.

•

Toxoid and antitoxin are administered at separate sites.

•

Adsorbed toxoid should be used because the inhibitory effect is much less than with fluid toxoid.
