PEDIARIX provides 3 DTaP injections for the primary series. How do I complete the 4th and 5th DTaP doses?
Use Infanrix® (Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed), a widely used DTaP vaccine proven to be immunogenic and safe.[1,8] The pertussis antigen components of INFANRIX are the same as those components in PEDIARIX; therefore, these children should receive INFANRIX as their fourth and fifth dose of DTaP. However, data are insufficient to evaluate the safety of INFANRIX following 3 doses of PEDIARIX.
