The DPT Booster-1 is given to children at 18 months of age to reinforce protection against diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), and tetanus. It is a critical part of the immunization schedule to maintain long-term immunity against these serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. Administered as an injectable vaccine, this booster ensures continued protection as the child's immune system matures, preventing outbreaks of these infections in young children.
