The immunity boost: the importance of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP)-containing vaccine boosters

To maintain long-term protection against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP), booster doses of DTP-containing vaccines are needed beyond the primary infant series. WHO recommends three diphtheria and tetanus boosters and at least one pertussis booster during childhood and adolescence, given as combination vaccines.

As of December 2023, Gavi-eligible countries can apply for support to introduce any of the three WHO-recommended DTP-containing vaccine boosters. Countries can apply for support to introduce one, two or all three boosters.

This webinar will highlight:

• The importance of DTP-containing vaccine boosters and recommended schedules
• Opportunities for programme synergies and integration
• Gavi support and application details
• Supply and vaccine product considerations

The session will take place in English and French.
