These injection-site reactions are usually mild and self-limiting. However, Arthus reactions have been reported after administration of these vaccines. An Arthus reaction after vaccination with tetanus and diphtheria toxoids is not an allergic reaction and is not common. However, these reactions may occur if a patient is immunized with tetanus or diphtheria toxoids too frequently. Patients with a history of Arthus reactions after vaccination should not receive doses of Td or Tdap any more frequently than every 10 years. Arthus-type reactions have not been associated with other types of vaccines.] [Show More]
