Abstract:
Most of the parenteral vaccines induce some degree of local reactions,
which include pain, erythema and induration. The DwPT
vaccine is the most common vaccine which is being used in India.
The current schedule, as has been recommended by the National
Immunization Schedule, calls for DwPT vaccine injections from 1
1/2 months to 18 months. The local reactions are more with the
whole cell pertusis vaccines and the aluminium adjuvant vaccines
like DwPT (Diphtheria whole cell Pertusis Tetanus).
