The purpose of study Td519 is to demonstrate that Adacel® vaccine (Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Adsorbed) is safe and immunogenic in persons 10 years of age.
Primary Objectives:
- To compare pertussis antibody responses induced by Adacel® in persons 10 to <11 years of age to those induced by Adacel in persons 11 to <12 years of age.
- To compare the booster responses against pertussis antigens induced by Adacel in persons 10 to <11 years of age to those induced by Adacel in persons 11 to <12 years of age.
- To compare booster responses against tetanus and diphtheria induced by Adacel in persons 10 to <11 years of age to those induced by Adacel in persons 11 to <12 years of age.
Secondary Objective:
- To compare seroprotection rates against tetanus and diphtheria induced by Adacel in persons 10 to <11 years of age to those induced by Adacel in persons 11 to <12 years of age.

- Summary of Geometric Mean Titers of Anti-Pertussis Titers Following a Single Dose of Adacel® Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 30 post-vaccination ]Anti-Pertussis titers (Pertussis toxoid [PT], Filamentous hemagglutinin [FHA], Pertactin [PRN], Fimbriae types 2 and 3 [FIM]) geometric mean titers were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
- Summary of Anti-Pertussis Booster Response Following a Booster Dose of Adacel® Vaccine [ Time Frame: 30 days post-vaccination ]Anti-Pertussis booster responses were assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). For pertussis antigens (Pertussis toxoid [PT], filamentous hemagglutinin [FHA], pertactin [PRN], fimbriae types 2 and 3 [FIM]), a booster response rate was defined as a four-fold increase in pre- to post-vaccination titers for participants with pre vaccination titers ≤ 93 ELISA Unit (EU)/mL for PT, ≤ 170 EU/mL for FHA, ≤ 115 EU mL for PRN, and ≤ 285 EU/mL for FIM. If the pre-vaccination titers were > 93 EU/mL for PT, > 170 EU/mL for FHA, > 115 EU mL for PRN, or > 285 EU/mL for FIM then a two-fold increase in the antibody titer was defined as a booster response.
- Summary of Anti-Tetanus and Anti-Diphtheria Booster Response Following a Booster Dose of Adacel® Vaccine [ Time Frame: 30 days post-vaccination ]Anti-tetanus booster responses were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-diphtheria booster responses were assessed by a toxin neutralization test. Booster response rate was defined as a four-fold increase in pre- to post-vaccination for subjects with pre-vaccination titers ≤ 2.56 EU/mL for diphtheria and ≤ 2.7 EU/mL for tetanus. If the pre-vaccination titers were > 2.56 EU/mL for diphtheria or > 2.7 EU/mL for tetanus, then a two-fold increase in response rate was defined as a booster response.
- Percentage of Participants With Seroprotection to Tetanus and Diphtheria Following a Single Dose of Adacel Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and 30 days post-vaccination ]Anti-tetanus seroprotection rates were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-diphtheria seroprotection was assessed by a toxin neutralization test. Seroprotection was defined as post-vaccination antibody titers ≥0.1 IU/mL.
- Summary of Anti-Pertussis Geometric Means of Titers Before and Post-Vaccination With a Single Dose of Adacel Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 30 post-vaccination ]Anti-Pertussis titers (Pertussis toxoid [PT], Filamentous hemagglutinin [FHA], Pertactin [PRN], Fimbriae types 2 and 3 [FIM]) geometric mean titers were assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
- Percentage of Participants Reporting a Solicited Injection-site or Systemic Reactions Following Injection With a Single Dose of Adacel Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 up to Day 7 post-vaccination ]Solicited injection-site: Pain, Erythema, and Swelling. Solicited systemic reactions: Fever, Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia. Grade 3 Solicited Injection-site reactions: Pain, Incapacitating, unable to perform usual activities; Erythema and Swelling, ≥50 mm. Grade 3 Solicited systemic reactions: Fever, ≥39.0˚C or ≥102.1˚F; Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia Significant, prevents daily activity.

- Receipt of any vaccine within 30 days before receiving study vaccine, or plans to receive another vaccine before the 2nd visit; except that influenza vaccine may have been received between 30 and 15 days (but no less than 15 days) before receiving study vaccine.
- Participation in another interventional clinical trial investigating a vaccine, drug, medical device, or medical procedure in the 30 days preceding the first study vaccination or during the course of the study.
- Seropositivity for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C, as reported by the parent/guardian.
- Laboratory-confirmed thrombocytopenia, bleeding disorders, or receipt of anticoagulants in the 3 weeks preceding inclusion, contraindicating intramuscular vaccination, at the discretion of the Investigator.
- Known pregnancy, or a positive urine or serum pregnancy test.
- Prior personal history of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
- Identified as an investigator or employee of the investigator or study center with direct involvement in the proposed study, or identified as an immediate family member (i.e., parent, spouse, natural or adopted child) of the investigator or employee with direct involvement in the proposed study.
