Diphtheria Vaccine | Shim Clinic, Singapore

Diphtheria Vaccine | Shim Clinic, Singapore: Diphtheria Toxoid vaccine jab/shot/injection schedule, to vaccinate against the Corynebacterium diphtheriae, to immunise against Diphtheria clinic, Singapore. Private and confidential service. Definitions, references, and latest news.

All travellers should be vaccinated according to national recommendations. Vaccination against diphtheria is usually given as triple vaccine — DTP or DTaP (diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis or diphtheria/tetanus/acellular pertussis). After the initial course of three doses, additional doses may be given as DT until 7 years of age, after which a vaccine with reduced diphtheria content (Td) is given. Since both tetanus toxoid (see below) and diphtheria toxoid can reasonably be given on a booster basis about every 10 years, there is no reason to use monovalent diphtheria vaccine. In some countries, adult boosters that contain acellular pertussis (TdaP) are being introduced.
