The aim of the study is to assess the safety profile of ADACEL vaccine in a small number of participants in China.
Primary objective:
- To describe the safety in terms of occurrence of serious adverse reactions and grade 3 adverse reactions after administration of Sanofi Pasteur's Tdap vaccine (ADACEL) given as a single dose in 20 adults and 20 children.
Secondary objective:
- To describe the full reactogenicity profile after administration of sanofi pasteur's Tdap vaccine (ADACEL) given as a single dose in 20 adults and 20 children.
