Post-Marketing Surveillance of the Adverse Events Following Immunization with a New Pentavalent Vaccine (DPT-HB+Hib)

摘要

Background: Combination vaccines are an important trend in the development of vaccines to reduce the number of injections and to increase vaccination's coverage. In Cuba a new pentavalent vaccine was recently obtained in a formulation where the DPT-HB component is mixed with the monovalent Hib vaccine, just immediately before its administration. This vaccine was introduced into the National Immunization Program (NIP) since September of 2006.
