Uses For Daptacel


Diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccine (also known as DTaP) is a combination immunizing agent given by injection to protect against infections caused by diphtheria, tetanus (lockjaw), and pertussis (whooping cough). This vaccine is given only to infants and children 6 weeks to 7 years of age (before the child's 7th birthday) .


Diphtheria is a serious illness that can cause breathing difficulties, heart problems, nerve damage, pneumonia, and possibly death. The risk of serious complications and death is greater in very young children and in the elderly .


Tetanus (also known as lockjaw) is a serious illness that causes convulsions (seizures) and severe muscle spasms that can be strong enough to cause bone fractures of the spine. Tetanus causes death in 30 to 40 percent of cases .


Pertussis (also known as whooping cough) is a serious disease that causes severe spells of coughing that can interfere with breathing. Pertussis also can cause pneumonia, long-lasting bronchitis, seizures, brain damage, and death .


Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis are serious diseases that can cause life-threatening illnesses. Although some serious side effects can occur after a dose of DTaP (usually from the pertussis vaccine part), this rarely happens. The chance of your child catching one of these diseases, and being permanently injured or dying as a result, is much greater than the chance of your child getting a serious side effect from the DTaP vaccine .


This vaccine is to be administered only by or under the supervision of your child's doctor or other health care professional .


Before Using Daptacel


In deciding to use a vaccine, the risks of taking the vaccine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this vaccine, the following should be considered:


Allergies


Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.


Pediatric


Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccine in infants younger than 6 weeks of age and in children 7 years of age and older. Safety and efficacy have not been established .


Geriatric


Diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccine is not recommended for use in adult populations .

  • Allergic reaction to a previous dose of DTaP or

  • Brain disease (decreased level of consciousness, uncontrolled seizures) or

  • Fever—Use of DTaP may make these conditions worse or may increase the chance of side effects .

Proper Use of diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccine

This section provides information on the proper use of a number of products that contain diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccine. It may not be specific to Daptacel. Please read with care.


A nurse or other trained health professional will give your child this vaccine. This vaccine is given as a shot into one of your child's muscles .


This vaccine is usually given as a series of 4 or 5 shots. It is important that your child receive all of the shots in this series. Try to keep all scheduled appointments. If your child must miss a shot, make another appointment with the child's doctor as soon as possible .


Your child may receive other vaccines at the same time as this one, but in a different body area. You should receive information sheets about all of the vaccines your child receives. Make sure you understand all of the information that is given to you .


Your child may also receive a medicine to help prevent or treat some of the minor side effects of the vaccine, like fever and soreness .


Precautions While Using Daptacel


It is very important that the doctor check your child at regular visits to make sure this vaccine is working properly and to check for unwanted effects. It is very important that you return to your child's doctor for the next dose in the series .
