Dtap vaccination
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?
