ADS-M toxoid is injected intramuscularly into the upper outer quadrant of the buttock or the anterolateral part of the thigh, or deeply subcutaneously (to adolescents and adults) in the subscapular region at a dose of 0.5 ml (single dose). Before vaccination, the ampoule must be shaken thoroughly until a homogeneous suspension is obtained.
ADS-M toxoid is used:
1. For planned age-related revaccinations of children previously vaccinated against diphtheria and tetanus, at the age of 7 and 14 years, then every subsequent 10 years without age restriction. The drug is administered once.
Note. Persons vaccinated with tetanus toxoid between revaccinations are inoculated with AD-M toxoid.
2. For vaccination of children 6 years and older, previously unvaccinated against diphtheria and tetanus.
The vaccination course consists of two vaccinations with an interval of 30-45 days. The reduction of the interval is not allowed. If it is necessary to increase the interval, the next vaccination should be carried out as soon as possible.
The first revaccination is carried out 6-9 months after the completed vaccination once, the second booster vaccine - at intervals of 5 years once.Subsequent revaccinations are performed every 10 years without age limitation.
3. As a substitute for DTP vaccine (ADS-anatoxin) in children with strong general reactions (temperature up to 40 ° C and above) or post-vaccination complications for these drugs.
If the reaction has developed for the first DTP vaccination, then the ADS-M toxoid is administered only once, after 3 months, if the reaction develops for a second vaccination, then the vaccination against diphtheria and tetanus is considered complete. In both cases, the first revaccination with anatoxin is carried out after 9-12 months. If the reaction has developed for the third vaccination of DTP (ADP), the first revaccination of ADS-M with anatoxin is carried out after 12-18 months.
4. For the vaccination of adults who had not previously been immunized against diphtheria and tetanus, a full course of immunization (two vaccinations of ADS-M with anatoxin at intervals of 30 days and a booster at 6-9 months) are performed.
5. For planned revaccinations of children at 7 and 14 years, in the case of the introduction between revaccinations AC-anatoxin in connection with emergency prevention of tetanus. The drug is administered once.
6. To immunize adults (no age limit), vaccinated against tetanus less than 10 years ago in a planned manner. The drug is administered once.
7. Adults not previously vaccinated against diphtheria require a complete course immunization (two vaccinations with ADS-M-anatoxin at intervals of 30 days and revaccination at 6-9 months). Regular revaccination in 10 years ADS-M-anatoxin.
ADS-M is administered in accordance with the "National Calendar of preventive vaccinations" and "Calendar of preventive vaccinations for epidemiological indications."
