I'd like to ask you to recommend a bristle against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis for a 70-year-old person: Adacel or Boostrix?

Both Adacel and Boostrix are Tdap vaccines intended for use in adults and the elderly, including those aged 4 and over, including seniors. Both formulations contain diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis antigens and are used in booster doses about every 10 years to maintain immune protection.

The difference lies in the composition of pertussis antigens: Adacel contains more of them (5 antigens), while Boostrix has fewer of them (3 antigens) and is considered to be a preparation with a slightly "purer" composition, containing aluminum adjuvants. Both preparations are well tolerated, and the decision on which vaccine to choose should take into account individual factors such as vaccination history, health status and possible allergies.

For a 70-year-old person who needs a booster dose, both vaccines are appropriate and safe. However, it is worth consulting a doctor to choose the preparation that best suits the patient's needs and to qualify for vaccination.
