Td vaccine licensed for children?

[Evergreen]

I can't find the answer to this anywhere. Is there a Td (not DTaP) vaccine that is licensed to be used on a six year old? If anyone knows I would appreciate the information! Thanks in advance.

I think Sanofi has a pediatric DT and you may also want to look into the TT because I remember reading it can be given to children also, just not what ages.

Thank you

Bleghhh. This is going to be annoying- they have to write me a prescription for it then I have to find a pharmacy willing to fill just one (well, actually three) doses. The nurse made sure to point out that most pharmacies won't because they only order in bulk- and she was not nice about it!

I've learned that if you question "their" system or mess with "their" routine, medical professionals can become quite unreasonable and cranky.

If you don't mind waiting a year, Td is common and licensed for kids 7+.

I thought of that right after I went through all this!
