At what age is the DTaP vaccine typically administered to children?
Question

At what age is the DTaP vaccine typically administered to children?

A.

6 weeks, 10 weeks, 14 weeks

B.

2 years, 3 years, 4 years

C.

2 months, 4 months, 6 months

D.

12 months, 18 months, 24 months

Correct option is C


Ans: (c) 2 months, 4 months, 6 months Sol. The DTaP vaccine (Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis) is typically administered to children at the ages of 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months as part of their routine immunization schedule. Additional doses are given later, but these are the initial doses recommended by health authorities like the CDC.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) 6 weeks, 10 weeks, 14 weeks: This is not the correct schedule for the DTaP vaccine. The DTaP vaccine is typically given at 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months, not at 6, 10, and 14 weeks.
· (b) 2 years, 3 years, 4 years: This is incorrect. These ages are typically for other vaccines, such as the Polio vaccine, but not for the initial DTaP doses.
· (c) 2 months, 4 months, 6 months: Correct answer. The DTaP vaccine is administered at 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months to provide protection against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis during early childhood.
· (d) 12 months, 18 months, 24 months: This is incorrect. These ages are typically for other vaccines, but the DTaP schedule starts at 2 months, not 12 months.
