Immunization schedule
DTaP vaccination is one of the recommended childhood immunizations which should begin during infancy. DTaP immunization is generally required before a child can start school. The recommended series includes five immunizations.
DTaP immunization is usually a series of injections given to children at ages 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15-18 months, and 4-6 years. DTaP is recommended unless there is a reason that the child should not receive the pertussis vaccine (such as allergic reaction), in which case the DT should be given.
After the initial series of immunizations, a booster of Td vaccine should be given at age 11-12 years, and every 10 years thereafter.
