What is a mpt vaccine for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vaccine questions: An MPT vaccine is an experimental DNA vaccine for tuberculosis. I'm not sure 'where' you might have come across this -but it is NOT a vaccine in general use...not yet. There are other vaccines with different acronyms, such at DTP so it's worth talking to your doctor about it. When you think about it, getting a shot is so much better than getting a disease, if you are at risk! Hope this helps.
