Dtap vaccination

2025-02-21 17:27:09
Is the dtap less effective than dtwp if used for the child for first three primary doses? As per the Indian pediatrician association the document I read they mentioned below The IAP recommends either of the Pertussis vaccines for use in children. While both types of Pertussis vaccines give similar protection against proven Pertussis in the first 2-3 years of life, the wP vaccines induce significantly superior long-term. So, if someone has been given dtap is it fine?
