DTaP-IPV/Hib vaccine is a 5-in-1 combination vaccine that protects against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, and Haemophilus influenzae type B.[1][2]
Its generic name is "diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis adsorbed, inactivated poliovirus and haemophilus B conjugate vaccine", and it is also known as DTaP-IPV-Hib.[1]
Uses
[edit]DTaP-IPV/Hib vaccine is administered to young children to immunise against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, and diseases caused by Haemophilus influenzae type B.[1]
Formulations
[edit]A branded formulation marketed in the United States is Pentacel, manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur.[3]
Pentacel is known in the UK and Canada as Pediacel.[4][5] In April 2024, Sanofi discontinued Pediacel in Canada, transitioning to Pentacel.[6][7]
An equivalent vaccine marketed in the UK and Canada by GlaxoSmithKline is Infanrix IPV + Hib.[5] This is a two-part vaccine. The DTaP-IPV component is supplied as a sterile liquid, which is used to reconstitute lyophilized (freeze-dried) Hib vaccine.[citation needed]
Pentaxim is a liquid formulation marketed by Sanofi Pasteur.[8]
Availability
[edit]It is only licensed for young children.[9] The United States Food and Drug Administration has approved[when?] the vaccine for children from age 6 weeks up to age 5 years.[1] It was used in the UK until 2017, following which a 6-in-1 vaccine became available containing the additional protection against Hepatitis B.[2]
