Dosage/Direction for Use
ADMINISTRATION: The vaccine should be shaken before use to homogenize the suspension. It should be injected intramuscularly.
A sterile needle and a sterile syringe should be used for each injection.
IMMUNIZATION SCHEDULE: Bio-TT immunization for the prevention of tetanus/neonatal tetanus consists of two primary doses of 0.5 mL given intramuscularly at least four weeks apart followed by the third dose at least 6 months later.
To maintain the immunity of women against tetanus through the child-bearing period, a total of five doses are recommended.
A fourth dose should be given at least one year after the third dose, and a fifth dose at least one year after the fourth dose.
Bio-TT can be administered safely during pregnancy, preferably after reaching the second trimester. In previously non-immunized women, two doses of Bio-TT are recommended in pregnancy, at least 4 weeks apart, the second dose should be given at least two weeks before childbirth, in order to prevent maternal and neonatal tetanus.
Bio-TT should also be given in situation where a risk of developing tetanus from any other source exists (e.g. Injuries). At least two doses with at least one month interval will be required to provide basic protection in a previously unimmunized person, and additional booster doses will be required to maintain protection over time. National immunization schedules will provide more details.
Bio-TT may be given at the same time as BCG, measles, rubella, mumps, polio (OPV or IPV), hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b, and yellow fever vaccines and vitamin A supplementation.
