The risks of childhood disease, especially at under two years of age, far
outweighs the risk, and incidence, of any adverse reaction from
vaccination. Yes, adverse reactions can occur and in the rare times that
they do they do more so following DTP vaccination than any of the other
childhood vaccines. Vaccination protects children, especially under age
two. There are many scare groups out there armed with pseudo experts and
the stories of the unfortunate few who claim to have suffered adverse
reactions. If the child is in a day care setting, then they are
especially at risk for infectious disease.
