abstract: Infanrix hexa™, a diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, hepatitis B, inactivated poliomyelitis, and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) conjugate vaccine, is indicated for primary and booster vaccination of infants. Available clinical data from more than a decade of experience with the vaccine indicate that primary and booster vaccination with Infanrix hexa™ is a safe and useful option for providing protection against the common childhood diseases of diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis, pertussis, hepatitis B, and disease caused by Hib.
