CMN 571 Immunizations- Test Review Questions
and Verified Answers| Latest Update
What is the difference between DTap and Tdap? - ✔✔. The pediatric formulation will have
about 3-5 times the amount of diphtheria component compared to the adult formulation.
Therefore, you will see it indicated with an upper-case "D" (DTaP) and lower-case "d" in the
adult formulation (Tdap, Td).
Think of it like this, DTaP helps young children develop immunity to diphtheria, tetanus, and
(whooping cough) pertussis. Tdap served as a "booster" for continued protection. Dr. Townsend
