Pertussis Vaccine in Healthy Pregnant Women
Description

The purpose of this study is to look at the safety and immunogenicity of a combination vaccine that includes tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap). The study will be conducted in 48 pregnant women and 32 non-pregnant women. Safety of the newborn infant and the effect of the mother's vaccination on the infants' immune responses prior to vaccinating infants with another combination vaccine to protect against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis will be evaluated. Participants will be 18-45 years old. Pregnant volunteers will be 30-32 weeks pregnant and at a low risk for pregnancy complications. Pregnant volunteers will receive 2 injections (1 vaccine and 1 placebo, inactive substance); non-pregnant volunteers will receive 1 injection of vaccine. Blood samples will be collected from the mother and infant, along with the baby's growth measurements. Participation for mother infant pairs is about 15 months and about 7 months for non-pregnant women.

The Safety of Boostrix Following Routine Immunization of Pregnant Women
Description

The purpose of this study was to assess the safety of Boostrix administered on or after the first day of the 27th week of pregnancy by conducting a post-marketing study that provided safety information to the public and healthcare providers. This was one of the largest cohorts of pregnant women vaccinated with Boostrix in the U.S. Through partnership between Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC) and the sponsor, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), information about the safety of maternal vaccination with Boostrix and maternal and infant adverse events (AEs) in a community setting was gained.

Safety and Immunogenicity Study of Tdap Vaccinations for Plasma Donors
Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety and tetanus antibody response to a Tdap vaccine in healthy plasma donors. The main question it aims to answer are: * Is it safe to give this vaccine multiple times over one year to plasma donors since the package insert for this vaccine indicates that it should administered once every 10 years? * What is the tetanus antibody response over time in these donors after receiving the vaccine multiple times during the study? Participants will receive a Tdap vaccination every 3 months ±2 weeks for 12 months (5 vaccinations) with a 6 month follow-up after the last vaccination. After obtaining informed consent and screening for eligibility including plasmapheresis donor eligibility, subjects will have other baseline assessments performed and if eligible, will receive the scheduled vaccinations, will be assessed for adverse events (AEs) and have plasma samples collected for antibody titers each month thereafter for 11 months, and then at 1 and 6 months after the last vaccination. As these subjects are participating in a standard donor plasmapheresis donor program, assessments for donor eligibility and routine plasmapheresis will be performed; however, only the data specifically required to meet the objectives of this study will be collected.

TDAP Safety in Pregnant Women
Description

The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the safety of Tetanus Toxoid Reduced Diphtheria, Toxoid, and Acelluar Pertussis Vaccine (Tdap) in pregnant women at ≥ 20 weeks 0 days gestation receiving Tdap as part of standard practice. Prior Tdap/Td/TT history will be verified by medical record review when possible. There will be an emphasis on enrolling women who have received Tdap before the current pregnancy, to the greatest extent possible. Non-pregnant women who are receiving their initial Tdap will also be recruited. Injection-site (local) and systemic reaction data will be assessed on the vaccination day and during the 7 days following vaccination using either identical web-based or paper diaries, depending on the preference of the study participant. Pregnant women will be followed until delivery with comprehensive obstetric and neonatal outcomes obtained from review of the electronic medical record.

A Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of ADACEL® Vaccine in Persons 65 Years of Age and Older
Description

It is well recognized that older adults can contract pertussis, suffer its complications, and unwittingly transmit it to close contacts, which may well include infants too young to have received their primary series of DTaP vaccinations. ADACEL® vaccine is currently licensed in the US for persons 11 - 64 years of age, but no pertussis vaccine is yet approved for administration to older adults. The most widely used Td vaccine in the US, DECAVAC®, has no upper limit on its age indication. The purpose of this trial is to describe the safety and immunogenicity of ADACEL® vaccine among individuals ≥ 65 years of age.

US-licensed Combined Vaccine Against Tetanus & Diphtheria, Given With US-licensed Vaccine Against Meningococcal Disease
Description

New immunization recommendations in the US include vaccination of adolescents against pertussis and meningococcal disease. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that Tdap (Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid And Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed) and MCV4 (Meningococcal conjugate vaccine against serotypes A, C, Y and W-135) vaccines be administered to adolescents at the same office visit if vaccination with both vaccines is indicated. Therefore, this study is designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a booster vaccination with Boostrix co-administered with Menactra as compared to the administration of either vaccine alone in healthy adolescents 11 - 18 years of age.
