Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Glaxo Tdap gets FDA approval for adults INQUIRER STAFF GlaxoKline said today that the Food and Drug Administration has approved its vaccine Boostrix for tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough for adults. The Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccine is approved for those age 10 to 64, which Glaxo said was the broadest age range for any Tdap vaccine. Boostrix already had been approved as a booster for preteens and teens. Since 2005, more than 7.5 million doses of it have been distributed in the United States to protect adolescents from whooping cough. London-based Glaxo has a large U.S. presence in Philadelphia and in Research Triangle Park, N.C. Company shares were poised to open this morning at $35.81 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Hmm - who thinks we might start seeing more adult regression happen? Only one case that I'm aware of. Might that get someone's attention? (Maybe the 1 in a billion chance of 5 adults all regressing into autism immediately after a flu jab at Wal-mart.. Within about two weeks of each other.. That would get attention I think.)> Glaxo Tdap gets FDA approval for adults___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 There are some medical conditions which make people ineligible to join the armed forces which could potentially come up as susceptibilities not so far seen among the cases of Gulf War syndrome and the vaccine- injured members of the military. This could show up as more shots are approved for adults. > > Hmm - who thinks we might start seeing more adult regression > happen? Only one case that I'm aware of.
