Your monthly Boostrix cost savings if eligible

The Boostrix patient assistance program can provide your medication for free. We simply charge $49 per month for each medication to cover the cost of our services. With NiceRx, you will only pay $49 to obtain your Boostrix, regardless of the retail price.

Am I eligible for the Boostrix patient assistance program?

To find out if you are eligible for Boostrix assistance you can apply online using our enrollment application. Each pharmaceutical company sets its eligibility criteria, and we will review your application individually to determine if you may be eligible. The three main factors to consider are:

  • I am a permanent, legal resident of the United States or Puerto Rico
  • I am uninsured or my insurance doesn’t cover my medication
  • I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for the Boostrix patient assistance program?

Our application process aims to make it as easy as possible to apply for the Boostrix patient assistance program. The first step is to complete our online enrollment application. We will ask you for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income as this information is required by the pharmaceutical companies. We may be able to help you apply for other patient assistance programs too, so be sure to tell us about any medications you are taking as well as Boostrix.

NiceRx will review your application and determine whether you may be eligible for Boostrix assistance. If so, we will handle the full enrollment process for you and prepare all required documents for your healthcare provider to sign. Once you are successfully enrolled in the Boostrix patient assistance program, we will help you manage your prescription refills by requesting refills on your behalf throughout your enrollment period. At the end of your enrollment period, we will contact you for updated information and seek to re-enroll you so you can continue to access affordable Boostrix.

Is NiceRx a Boostrix coupons provider?

NiceRx is a service provider that helps eligible individuals access the Boostrix patient assistance program. We do not offer trial offers or free Boostrix samples. When obtaining your medication through NiceRx, you will only pay $49 a month per medication. This will likely save you more money than if you were to use Boostrix coupons, discount cards, or Boostrix copay cards.

Can NiceRx help me get Boostrix if I have insurance?

NiceRx may be able to help you if your insurance company will not pay for your Boostrix medication. We may also be able to help if you have a high copay or coinsurance responsibility. Whether you have insurance or not, apply online using our enrollment application to find out more.

What is Boostrix?

Boostrix vaccine, also known as a Tdap vaccine is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). It is indicated for active booster immunization against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis in individuals 10 years of age and older. Most people in this age group require only one Tdap shot for protection.

DTap is a combination vaccine used to provide immunity against 3 serious diseases (Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) whereas a Tdap vaccine is a booster dose used to boost your immune system.

What doses of Boostrix are available?

Boostrix is available as single-dose vials and single-dose prefilled syringes containing a 0.5-ml suspension for injection.

Always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice or about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Boostrix active ingredients

Boostrix contains Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid, and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine, Adsorbed as the active ingredients.

Boostrix side effects

The most common adverse events of Boostrix in clinical trials include:

  • In adolescents (aged 10 to 18 years) – pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, an increase in arm circumference of the injected arm, headache, tiredness, and gastrointestinal symptoms
  • In adults (aged 19 to 64 years) – pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, headache, tiredness, and gastrointestinal symptoms
  • In the elderly (aged 65 years and older) -pain at the injection site

In rare instances, Boostrix can cause more serious side effects. These can include:

  • Progressive or unstable neurologic disorders
  • Arthus-type hypersensitivity – if this reaction has occurred following a previous dose of a tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine you should not receive Boostrix unless at least 10 years have elapsed since the last dose of a tetanus toxoid containing vaccine
  • Fainting

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Boostrix against your risk of side effects. Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects or adverse reactions of Boostrix to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Boostrix drug interactions

Boostrix can interact with other medications:

  • In patients aged 11 to 18 years, lower levels for antibodies to pertactin (PRN) were seen when Boostrix was given with meningococcal conjugate vaccine (serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135) as compared with Boostrix given first
  • In subjects aged 19 to 64 years, lower levels for antibodies to filamentous hemagglutinin and PRN were seen when Boostrix was given with an inactivated influenza vaccine as compared with Boostrix alone
