What Does DTP Stand For?
DTP stands for Diphtheria Tetanus And Pertussis
DTP stands for Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis, which are three serious bacterial infections that can affect both adults and children. The DTP vaccine is a combination immunization that protects against these diseases by stimulating the immune system to develop antibodies. Diphtheria causes severe respiratory issues and heart complications; Tetanus leads to muscle stiffness and spasms; and Pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, results in severe coughing fits. Vaccination with DTP is essential for preventing outbreaks and ensuring public health.
