Also known as the DTaP vaccine, most commonly given to children or young high school students. This shot protects the immune system from diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough. The DTaP vaccine is something you only need to take at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15 to 18 months, and one last time between the ages of 4 and 6. Most people get another vaccination around the age of 12 in order to enter high school. Adults may get the vaccine if they are pregnant to protect the baby and to protect other family members. The DTaP vaccine also protects against any poisoning you could get from rusty objects and helps the immune system fight the illness.
