What is Adacel?

Adacel is a brand-name vaccine that provides active immunity from diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DtaP) bacterial infections. The immunizing ingredient in Adacel is weakened live diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus bacteria. The bacteria stimulate the production of antibodies against the bacteria but do not grow fast enough to cause infection. Adacel is an injection that is taken under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

The active ingredients in Adacel are living but weakened diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis bacteria, called “attenuated” bacteria. The body mounts an immune response to the bacteria, but the organisms are too weak to grow fast enough to cause an infection. The antibodies created provide a years-long line of defense against future infections.

Adacel is injected as a single dose by a healthcare professional. Infants require three doses and two additional booster shots are required through early childhood.

What are the side effects of Adacel?

Although not a complete list, common side effects of Adacel include, but are not limited to, fever, chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, vision problems, fainting, body aches, swollen joints, muscle pain, and joint pain. Site reactions to the injection are common and include redness, pain, swelling, and a hard lump at the needle site. Injection site reactions will go away after one or two days. Allergic reactions are very rare and include rash, itching, and swelling at the injection site.
