Is There Any Risk Of Injecting DPT Vaccine Twice?
My wife has just been given the DPT vaccination by the nurse in error - she was actually due a MMR booster - she had the original DPT vaccination a month ago as we are moving to the USA.. Is there any risk with having had this vaccine twice in one month?

Hi...do not worry. No harm in taking another dose. Actually if it had been given after a period of 8 weeks, it will work as a booster dose. No need to worry.
