induce active immunity. an inactivated toxin.a produce antibodies which inactivate the toxins but do not kill the bacteria. Diphtheria and tetanus toxins

1-Acute illness 2-Previous severe reaction to immunization. 3-Immune deficiency or suppression,acqured or induced. 4-Prrogressive or uncontrolled CNS disease. 5-Specfic situations with cellular pertusis or live vaccine
