Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis Vaccination
Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis are three bacterial diseases that can be vaccinated against with a single shot.
Diphtheria causes a thick covering in the back of the throat. It can lead to breathing problems, paralysis, heart failure, and even death.
Tetanus (lockjaw) is a serious disease that causes painful tightening of the muscles, usually all over the body. It can lead to “locking” of the jaw so the victim cannot open their mouth or swallow. Tetanus leads to death in about 1 in 10 cases.
Whooping cough — known medically as pertussis — is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection. Although it initially resembles an ordinary cold, whooping cough may eventually turn more serious, particularly in infants.
