DTP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis) Single Booster Vaccine (In-clinic) (CHAS Scheme Applicable)
By: DA Clinic S$54.00
Service Overview
The DTP vaccine, also known as the DTaP or Tdap vaccine, is a combination vaccine that protects against three different diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough). The vaccine contains small amounts of inactivated or weakened forms of the bacteria that cause these diseases.
The DTP vaccine is typically given in a series of five doses, with the first three doses administered during infancy and early childhood. A fourth dose is given between 15-18 months of age, and a fifth dose is given between 4-6 years of age.
A single booster shot is recommended for adolescents and adults, usually in the form of the Tdap vaccine, which also provides protection against pertussis. The booster shot is recommended every 10 years to maintain immunity.
The DTP vaccine is highly effective in preventing diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis, which can cause serious illness, disability, and even death. It is an important part of routine childhood and adult immunization schedules.
Subsidised Vaccinations: CHAS subsidies are available for this vaccine administered at any DA Clinic.
