DTaP/pediatric DT/Td

DTaP contains diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis vaccines. Pediatric DT contains diphtheria and tetanus without the pertussis components. Both vaccines are given to children age 6 weeks through 6 years. Adult Td contains tetanus and a smaller amount of diphtheria than the pediatric version and is used for children age 7 years through adulthood
