What is the Age of child for vaccination of diphtheria?
The DPT (diptheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and tetanus) shot is no longer given due to a high degree of side effects from the pertussis part of it. Now a safer vaccine, DTaP, is given at ages 2, 4, and 6 months then at 12-18 months and a final dose at 4-6 years (in the US - other countries have slightly different schedules) The Td booster (tetanus with a small amount of diptheria toxoid to make the reaction to tetanus stronger) has been replaced by a version with a smaller amount of pertussis because teens and young adults have been getting whooping cough (Tdap). People older than 65 and those who have already had the Tdap should bet the older Td if needed.
How are children protected from diphtheria?
The standard course of immunization for healthy children is three doses of DPT (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis) preparation given between two months and six months of age, with booster doses given at 18 months and at entry into school.
What are the effects if someone gets two tetanus shots in one year?
There are no negative effects, other than the usual tetanus immunization side effets. If you are in an area experiencing an outbreak of pertussis, you may choose to get the Tdap immunization, which includes protection against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis, immediately regardless of the interval since your last tetanus shot. See info in Related Links for this question.
Cpt code 90700 what type of service?
90700 is not a service, it's a vaccine - DTaP. One brand is Daptacel by Sanofi Pasteur The vaccine is a sterile isotonic suspension of pertussis antigens and diphtheria and tetanus toxoids adsorbed on aluminum phosphate, for intramuscular injection. Each 0.5 mL dose contains diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis antigens. Generally given to children <7 years old, but the recommended doses are at 2, 4, and 6 months; then again before kindergarten.
Can you have tetanus vaccinations within 6 months of each other?
Yes, you can have tetanus vaccinations within six months of each other.
What are the vaccines given to protect a child?
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.

How often should horse receive tetanus vaccination?

What if your child is five she has a cut she had a tetanus at three months old is she still covered?
She should get another tetanus booster just to be safe. Tetanus shots are usually good for about five years, so she might be due for her booster if she's reaching five years and three months. It also wouldn't hurt her to get a booster shot early. I've sometimes gotten a new tetanus shot after only three years depending on my health insurance situation. If cost is a concern, you should ask a doctor or nurse if she can wait a little longer. Tetanus is fatal and horribly painful, so it's not something you want to take unnecessary chances with.
What is the prognosis for a patient with tetanus?
Prognosis for patients with trench fever is excellent. Recovery may take a couple of months. Without treatment, there is always a risk of recurrence, even years after the original illness.

Whopping cough can you still be infected?
According to the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, "Pertussis (whooping cough) is a very contagious disease caused by a type of bacteria called Bordetella pertussis. This is one of the most common vaccine-preventable childhood diseases in the U.S. It's important to remember that both children and adults can get pertussis. Since the 1980s, there's been a dramatic increase in the number of cases of pertussis, especially among teens (10-19 years of age) and babies less than 5 months of age. In 2005, there were more than 25,000 total reported cases.
