    This document summarizes information about a tetanus toxoid vaccine, including its indication, mechanism of action, dosage, administration schedule, and potential adverse reactions. The tetanus toxoid vaccine is indicated to provide booster protection against tetanus for individuals aged 7 years and older. It works by stimulating the immune system to produce specific antitoxins against the tetanus antigen. A booster dose of 0.5 mL should be given intramuscularly every 10 years to maintain immunity. Common adverse reactions include redness, warmth, edema and induration at the injection site, as well as malaise, fever, and nausea.
