The DPT is self-funded and usually more expensive. The difference between the free vaccine and the free vaccine is that the number of vaccinations is reduced and the types of diseases prevented are increased.
1. Reduced number of inoculations: The free vaccine requires a total of 12 doses, while the self-funded DPT requires a total of 4 injections, which reduces the pain and adverse reactions caused by injections.
2. More types of diseases: The free vaccine can be used to prevent diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, and polio, while the DPT vaccine can prevent these diseases as well as Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) infections.
Both the Pentavalent vaccine and the free vaccine can prevent infectious diseases, and the type of vaccine can be chosen voluntarily according to one’s own economic conditions.
