Whooping cough vaccine
The number of cases of whooping cough (pertussis), a serious disease that is frequently fatal in infancy, can be dramatically reduced by the use of the pertussis vaccine. The pertussis immunizing agent is included in the DTP vaccine. Active immunity can be induced by three injections given eight weeks apart. Adverse reactions can include high fever, collapse or a shocklike state, or neurological symptoms such as screaming episodes, isolated convulsions, and an altered level of consciousness. Serious neurological complications following pertussis immunization occur approximately once in every 180,000 doses administered. Other side effects are mild and self-limited
