DTP vaccine
The DTP immunization also protects against diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus and can be substituted for the DTaP vaccine in cases of DTaP vaccine shortage. The vaccination schedule is the same as for the DTaP. Commonly reported side effects of the DTP are irritability, lethargy, redness and tenderness at the site of injection, and fever.
