DTaP is a vaccine to protect against Diptheria, Tetanus and Pertussis. The antigens present in this vaccine are Diptheria toxoid, Tetanus toxoid and Acellular Pertussis. Another option is the DTP shot which protects against the same diseases.
Vericella is a vaccine to protect against chicken pox.
MMR is a vaccine to protect against Mumps, Measles and Rubella.
IPV is a vaccine to protect against Poliovirus and should not be given to children with neomycin Allergies (although this vaccine is typically given to children at 2 months old so you really wouldn't know if the child has this allergy or not...)
There is also a shot to protect against Hepatitis B which is given at the hospital when the baby is one day old. This shot is not completely necessary and should, in my opinion, only be given to the child if the mother has hepatitis, if the baby is at risk for contracting it (because of a family member or caregiver with the disease) or if the child is going to daycare. Otherwise, the child should have it a few months before beginning daycare or Kindergarten (if you feel the child may become exposed).
When a child is born they are given a Vitamin K shot to help blood clotting.
