Your Vaccination Journey

Before Vaccination
Consult your doctor to confirm eligibility for the DPT / Pentavalent Vaccine. Discuss any allergies, current medications, and your medical history. Avoid getting vaccinated if you have a fever or acute illness.
Vaccination Day
The DPT / Pentavalent Vaccine is administered by injection or orally by a certified healthcare professional. The procedure takes just a few minutes. You will be observed for 15–30 minutes for immediate reactions.
24–48 Hours After
Mild side effects such as soreness at the injection site, low-grade fever, or fatigue are normal and resolve on their own. Stay hydrated and rest. Seek medical attention if symptoms are severe.
Follow-Up Doses
Complete the full dosage schedule as prescribed — skipping doses reduces effectiveness. Follow-up doses are usually given within weeks to months of the first dose.
