Why dpt given in one vaccine?
Question:
Answers:
This combination is used for routine scheduled vaccinations of children. Each one is available as a separate vaccine, usually for adults. Plain Tetanus shots are given to adults with open wounds if they haven't had a recent one. Separate vaccines are also available for patients who have allergies to certain immunizations.
It's not often that three separate vaccine types are compatible enough to be given together, so when they are compatible, combining them results in fewer injections, fewer temper tantrums, fewer injection-related reactions or infections, and lower cost. It also helps everyone to keep track of all the different vaccines required for kids nowadays so that there's less chance of missing a dose.
Why not? Do you think it would be better if they gave 2 month old infants three separate shots when one would do? Or even 2 year olds? Would they deal with it any better?
It's a matter of ease, convenience, and I believe it's cheaper, too.
cuz it can be..
Would you rather have 3 separate injections?
Personally I think it is better to have none at all. Unlikely to get any of these diseases in spite of the fear mongering and if you get them they will probably not kill you but go away with proper treatment. Too bad you must have them to travel.
DPT is given in 3 doses. try to check out with your doctor.
