ADS-toxoid injected intramuscularly in the antero-external part of the thigh in a dose of 0.5 ml. Before vaccination, the ampoule must be shaken thoroughly until a homogeneous suspension is obtained.
ADS-anatoxin is used:
1. Children who have recovered whooping cough (from 3 months of age until reaching 6 years of age).
2. Children who have contraindications to the introduction of DTP vaccine.
3. Children aged 4-5 years, inclusive, previously not vaccinated against diphtheria and tetanus.
The vaccination course consists of two vaccinations with an interval of 30 days. The reduction of the interval is not allowed. If it is necessary to increase the interval, the next vaccination should be carried out at the nearest possible time, determined by the state of the child's health. Revascularization of ADS-anatoxin is carried out once every 6-12 months after the completed vaccination course. The first revaccination of children aged 6 years and subsequent age-related revaccinations is performed with ADS-M-anatoxin.
ADS-anatoxin can be administered after a month or simultaneously with poliomyelitis vaccine and other preparations of the national calendar of preventive vaccinations.
Note. If the child who had suffered pertussis received three or two DTP vaccines earlier, the vaccination against diphtheria and tetanus is considered complete. In the first case, revaccination with ADS-anatoxin is carried out at 12-18 months, and in the second - 9-12 months after the last injection of the drug. If the child received one DTP vaccine, he is subject to a second vaccination with ADS-anatoxin, followed by a revaccination after 9-12 months. Subsequent age-related revaccinations are performed with ADS-M-anatoxin.
The preparation of the drug is registered in the prescribed registration forms with the indication of the serial number, expiration date, manufacturer, date of introduction, the nature of the reaction to the administration of the drug.
