Mechanism of action

Td vaccine contains inactivated toxins (toxoids) from Clostridium tetani and Corynebacterium diphtheriae. These toxoids are unable to cause disease but retain immunogenicity, triggering the adaptive immune system to produce protective antibodies and cellular immunity against tetanus and diphtheria toxins. This provides long-term protection against these potentially fatal bacterial infections.
