There is no mention of the animal that requires these injections which makes it difficult to determine dosage. The use of antitoxin or toxoid is not always indicated, especially if the patient is current on the tetanus vaccine.
Why was antitoxin given instead of a booster shot of tetanus toxoid?
When a 30 year old is given the tetanus toxoid administered by a physicians assistant the CPT code is 90714. The tetanus toxoid is an immunization.
No, the tetanus toxoid (routine vaccine) is not. However, the tetanus antitoxin for horses (which imparts antibodies directly to the horse that were produced by another horse) does. That is why the antitoxin comes with increased risk of adverse reaction and also why it doesn't provide prolonged protection. The toxoid causes the horse's body to develop it's own antibodies against the toxin that causes Tetanus while the antitoxin is pre-made antibodies.

The drug classification of tetanus toxoid is a vaccine. Tetanus toxoid works by helping the body to build up immunity to tetanus.
Either can be given to a 3 year old. The anti tetanus serum should be given if there is reason to believe the child has not been immunized against tetanus before and has been exposed. If the child has been immunized, and there is reason to believe that they have been infected, the toxoid should be administered.
