In 1991, less reactogenic pediatric acellular pertussis vaccine (diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis vaccine [DTaP]) was first licensed for use in children for the fourth and fifth doses of the 5-dose childhood vaccination series in the United States (21,22), and in 1996, pediatric DTaP was licensed for the first three infant doses (1).
The tetanus and diphtheria toxoid composition of Tdap is similar to licensed adult formulations of Td (Appendix A).
In addition, high pre-existing antibody titers to tetanus or diphtheria toxoids in children, adolescents, and adults primed with these antigens might be associated with increased rates of local reactions to booster doses of tetanus or diphtheria toxoid--containing vaccines (26,108,111,112).

 IMMUNIZATION TO TETANUS
This, of course, serves to emphasize again that protection from tetanus by active immunization is based on the immunologic preparation of the individual by the basic immunization and the stimulation of protective antitoxin levels by the dose of toxoid administered at the time of injury.
It is well, then, to keep in mind that when American forces are in conflict side by side with allied troops not protected with tetanus toxoid, the prevention of tetanus in such individuals may well rest with the administration of prophylactic antitoxin.
One other antigen such as diphtheria toxoid may be added to the tetanus toxoid in small quantities and give adequate immunogenic responses without significant increases in reactions.

Apparently, chemical cross-linking with formaldehyde stabilized the toxoid epitope and prevented the pH-induced transition that allowed the 6B3 antibody to quickly detach from the same epitope on native diphtheria toxin (Table II and Fig.
The observed 25% release from the toxoid might be indicative of pH-induced structural changes in the antibody that reduced binding.
It is important to note that whereas 6B3 recognized its epitope on this toxoid, other monoclonal antibodies bound only to the native toxin.
