Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Most of the vaccines are completed by 18 months,there are no specific vaccines at 20 months of age.
As far as DTP is concerned there are 2 types of vaccines.
DTaP( Acellular pertusis vaccine,painless) and DTwP (Whole cell pertusis vaccine,painful).
As for efficacy both are same or DTaP is less efficacious as per recent reports and is
more costly.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
