Dano-TT Vaccine is indicated for active immunisation against tetanus in adults, children, and infants. Tetanus toxoid vaccine is also used in the prevention of neonatal tetanus by immunizing women of childbearing age, and also in the prevention of tetanus following injury.

Dano-TT Vaccine contains tetanus toxoid, which works by activating the immune system to produce antibodies. These antibodies help neutralise the toxins produced by Clostridium tetani and prevent tetanus infection.

In some cases, Dano-TT Vaccine may cause injection site reactions (redness, tenderness, thickening of skin), fever, irritability and discomfort. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, talk to the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Let the doctor know if you have experienced a severe reaction to a previous dose of tetanus. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep the doctor informed about your immunisation history, health condition and medications to prevent any side effects/interactions.

Dano-TT Vaccine is indicated for active immunisation against tetanus in adults, children, and infants, especially those liable to be exposed to tetanus infection and persons engaged in outdoor activities, e.g. gardeners, farm workers and athletes. Tetanus toxoid vaccine is also used in the prevention of neonatal tetanus by immunizing women of childbearing age and also in the prevention of tetanus following injury. Dano-TT Vaccine contains tetanus toxoid, which works by activating the immune system to produce antibodies.

Tetanus: Tetanus is an infection caused by a bacteria called Clostridium tetani, which is found in the environment. The first sign is most commonly lockjaw (spasms of the jaw muscles). Other symptoms include trouble swallowing, sudden/involuntary muscle spasms, painful muscle stiffness, seizures, headache, fever and sweating. Anyone can get tetanus. However, several factors can increase the risk for tetanus infection, such as not being vaccinated, recent wounds, older age, diabetes, and immunocompromising conditions.
