Typical dosage for Tenivac

Tenivac is given as an injection into the shoulder muscle by a healthcare provider in adults and children 7 years and older. There are two Td vaccines available: Tenivac and TdVax.

  • Primary series: This series is only for people who haven't previously received or completed a primary series against tetanus or diphtheria with another vaccine.
    • Tenivac: This vaccine is given as a 3-dose series with 1 injection given at 0 months, 2 months, and 6 to 8 months after the second dose.
    • TdVax: This vaccine is given as a 3-dose series with 1 injection given at 0 months, 1 to 2 months, and 6 to 12 months after the second dose.
  • Booster dose: The typical booster dose is 1 injection every 10 years in adults and children aged 11 or older for continued protection. See FAQs for more details about booster doses.
  • Prevention of diphtheria after exposure: The typical dose is 1 injection in those who haven't completed primary vaccination against diphtheria, whose vaccination status is unknown, or who haven't received a diphtheria toxoid-containing vaccine within the last 5 years.
  • Prevention of tetanus after getting a wound: The typical dose is 1 injection. The need for a dose of Tenivac, with or without tetanus immune globulin, depends on the the condition of the wound and your vaccination history. Your provider will determine if you need a dose of Tenivac.
