Yes. Clinical studies have demonstrated that the administration of hepatitis B vaccine in combination at 2, 4, and 6 months induces a seroprotective immune response similar to that achieved with administration of hepatitis B vaccine on a birth, 1-month, and 6-month schedule.[6] Additionally, the PEDIARIX immunization schedule (2, 4, and 6 months) adheres to current ACIP, AAP, and AAFP recommendations.
