Also, DTP vaccine should be used with caution in patients who are receiving anticoagulant therapy.
It is an acid set cheese, not a rennet set cheese, as well as being a DTP program.
Children who have an allergic reaction after the first shot should be referred to an allergist before continuing with the DTP injections.
If a patient with a history of fevers and febrile convulsions is to be given DTP, the patient should receive acetaminophen at the time of the injection and for the following 24 hours.
Because DTP vaccine is injected deep into the muscle, it should be given with care to patients receiving anticoagulant therapy.
