Drug Study

The document summarizes information about the hepatitis B vaccine and tetanus toxoid vaccine. The hepatitis B vaccine contains hepatitis B surface antigen and is produced in yeast cells. It is given as three doses to infants at birth, with the second dose at 4 weeks and the third at 24 weeks. The vaccine reduces the risk of hepatitis B infection and complications like liver cirrhosis and cancer. The tetanus toxoid vaccine protects women during pregnancy and their newborn infants against neonatal tetanus. It is given as five doses, with increased protection levels after each dose, providing lifetime protection after the fifth dose.

Drug Study Tetanus toxin is an extremely potent neurotoxin produced by the vegetative cell of Clostridium tetani[1] in anaerobic conditions, causing tetanus. It has no known function for clostridia in the soil environment where they are normally encountered. It is also called spasmogenic toxin, tetanospasmin or abbreviated to TeTx or TeNT. When given to women of childbearing age, vaccines that contain tetanus toxoid (TT or Td) not only protect women against tetanus, but also prevent neonatal tetanus in their newborn infants.
