  • Plans to remain in the study area for the length of the trial.
  • The participant and a parent or legal guardian can read, write, and understand the documents and all are mentally competent to give assent and consent.
  • If female, not known or suspected to be pregnant at the time of enrollment into the study and is not planning pregnancy during participation in this trial.

  • Malignancy, allergy immunotherapy, or receiving immunosuppressive therapy (participants who are taking topical and inhaled steroids could be included in the study as would participants on a "short course" of oral steroids, -\<7 days, as long as there are not two courses within the previous two weeks prior to vaccination).
  • Receipt of any pertussis, diphtheria or tetanus-containing vaccines within the past 3 years.
  • Any unstable significant underlying chronic disease, including (but not limited to) malignancy, cardiopulmonary disease, renal, endocrinologic, hematologic or hepatic dysfunction.
  • Known impairment of neurologic function or currently active seizure disorder or currently requiring medication for seizures.
  • Personal history of physician-diagnosed or laboratory-confirmed pertussis disease within the last 2 years.
  • Receipt of blood products or immunoglobulin within the previous 3 months.

  • Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would pose a health risk to the participant or interfere with the evaluation of the vaccine.
  • History of immediate anaphylaxis, encephalopathy within 7 days, or seizure within 3 days of receiving diphtheria, tetanus, or pertussis vaccine.
