The DTaP and Tdap vaccines protect against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis, with DTaP used in younger children and Tdap as a booster for individuals ten and older.
- Both DTaP and Tdap vaccines offer protection against the same diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis.
- DTaP vaccine is administered to younger children to provide initial immunity.
- Tdap vaccine serves as a booster dose, recommended for individuals aged ten and older.
- The difference between DTaP and Tdap relates to the intended age groups and the immunity needs at different life stages.
