Diphtheria Vaccine Recommendations
Background
Constrained U.S. Td supply, 2024
Production of one tetanus and diphtheria (Td) vaccine, TdVaxTM, has been discontinued. As a result, CDC anticipates that the supply of Td vaccine in the U.S. market will be constrained during 2024. CDC has developed guidance to help vaccination providers.
The United States uses three types of combination vaccines that include protection against diphtheria: DTaP, Tdap, and Td. DT vaccine is no longer available in the United States.
DTaP and Tdap also include protection against tetanus and pertussis. Td also includes protection against tetanus. Children younger than 7 years of age receive DTaP, while older children and adults receive Tdap or Td.
The following summarizes CDC's current age-based recommendations for DTaP, Tdap, and Td. Access the official, full text of CDC's current and historical DTaP/Tdap/Td vaccine recommendations.
Infants and children
CDC recommends routine DTaP vaccination for all infants and children younger than 7 years old.
