DTP vaccine is given to infants to immunize them against
-
Diptheria, pneumonia and typhoid
-
Diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus
-
Diarrhoea, pneumonia and tuberculosis

DPT (also DTP and DTwP) refers to a class of combination vaccines against three infectious diseases in humans diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), and tetanus. The vaccine components include diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and killed whole cells of the organism that causes pertussis (wP).
BCG vaccine contains
-
Live but attenuated bacteria
-
Killed bacteria
-
Toxoids against TB-bacteria
-
Antibodies against bacteria
The BCG vaccine contains a live but weakened form of a type of bacteria called Mycobacterium bovis which causes tuberculosis (TB) in cattle. The bacteria are altered so that they do not cause a TB infection, but stimulate the immune system to make resistant to the disease. The vaccine is known as BCG because a strain of the bacterium known as Bacillus Calmette-Guerin is used.
