: Absolutely wrong. The P does refer to pertussis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DPT_vaccine

: Be careful, the P can refer to pertussis. It is better to remove the ambiguity by using polio.

: The translation is correct but the examples are all wrong. DPT(DTP) has no polio, rather it has pertussis (coqueluche).

I am glad you agree. I am aware that the examples do not refer to polio. In my explanation in French, I mention to substitute pertussis for polio. This was also to make the point that the P may be misleading.

DT polio - for clarification only.
DT Polio is not the same as DTP (or DPT) which is Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis.
Moreover, pay special attention the the capitalizations.
There exist both dT and DT vaccines, the dT having less diphtheria antigen than the DT.

--------------------------------------------------
There are several vaccines that incorporate both DT (and P) and polio. Usually the polio component is designated IPV (inactivated polio vaccine).
