The DTaP and Tdap vaccines both protect against three bacterial infections: diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis, whereas the Td vaccine only protects against diphtheria and tetanus. In addition, the vaccines vary in terms of who should receive them and the quantities of vaccine proteins they contain: 1  DTaP: The DTaP vaccine is given to infants and young children in a series of five shots â at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15 to 18 months, and again at 4 to 6 years of age. Tdap: The Tdap vaccine is different from the DTaP vaccine because it contains lesser quantities of diphtheria and pertussis proteins.

Despite hundreds of clinical trials the appropriate dose of aspirin to prevent myocardial infarction and stroke is still uncertain. In the US the doses most frequently recommended are 80 mg, 160 mg, or 325 mg per day. Because aspirin can cause major bleeding, the appropriate dose is the lowest dose that is effective in preventing both MI and stroke because these two diseases frequently co-exist.
