If you start the IPV, DTaP, and Hepatitis B series with the individual vaccines, can you still use Pediarix for subsequent doses?
Yes, if the child received Infanrix as the DTaP vaccine. It is preferable to use the same manufacturer’s DTaP vaccine for all doses in the primary series. But if you do not know whether a child received Infanrix for prior doses, or if Pediarix is the only DTaP-containing vaccine available, Pediarix may still be used to complete the series.
