Diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), and tetanus are Infectious Diseases preventable by vaccination. Diphtheria is caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae, leading to severe throat inflammation. Pertussis, caused by Bordetella pertussis, results in intense coughing fits that can be particularly dangerous for infants. Tetanus, caused by Clostridium tetani, affects the nervous system, leading to muscle stiffness and spasms. Vaccination, typically administered in combination as the DTaP vaccine, helps the immune system recognize and fight these pathogens effectively.
