Diptheria

WHAT IS THE TIMETABLE?

Four primary vaccinations are done at the age of 2, 3, 4, and between 11 – 15 months. Two booster vaccinations are done between the ages of 5 – 6 Years and 9 – 11 or 12 – 17 years of age. Thereafter a booster vaccination is needed every 10 years. The diphtheria vaccination is given in combination with tetanus and pertussis and also in combination with polio, haemophilus influenzae type b and hepatitis B in order to reduce the number of the injection for the child.
