Integers with iterated sum-of-digits 3, 6 or 9 are divisible by 3, so 3 is the only prime with iterated sum-of-digits 3 and there are no primes with iterated sum-of-digits 6 or 9.
The remaining values are very evenly distributed: these are the number of appearances in the first 1007933 primes: 1:167878; 2:168079; 4:167984; 5:168027; 7:167906; 8:168058. - Carmine Suriano, Jun 22 2015
Asymptotically, the ratios (number of primes <= n and == i mod 9)/(number of primes <= n and == j mod 9) go to 1 as n -> infinity for all i,j in {1,2,4,5,7,8} by the Prime Number Theorem for Arithmetic Progressions. For more detailed analysis, see the Granville-Martin link. - Robert Israel, Jul 08 2015

EXAMPLE
Prime(5) = 11, 1 + 1 = 2 hence a(5) = 2.
a(297)=7 because the 297th prime is 1951 and 1+9+5+1 = 16 -> 1+6 = 7.
