What Are Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis?
Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis are dangerous bacterial infections that can cause severe illness or even become life-threatening.
- Tetanus (lockjaw): Causes painful muscle stiffness and spasms, which can make breathing difficult.
- Diphtheria: Affects the respiratory system, leading to difficulty breathing, heart failure, and potential nerve damage.
- Pertussis (whooping cough): Highly contagious, particularly dangerous for infants, leading to prolonged coughing fits and complications.
Vaccination is a safe and effective way to prevent these diseases while helping protect vulnerable populations in your community.
