This vaccine increases a person's defenses against pertussis, polio, and Hib infection and against the toxins produced by tetanus and diphtheria bacteria. Vaccines do not cause the illness they are protecting against. They work by introducing very small amounts of bacterial and toxin components into the bloodstream.
Either the bacteria are killed (polio), or only parts of the bacteria are used (pertussis, Hib infections). The toxins are detoxified (tetanus, diphtheria). These components stimulate the production of a person's own antibodies (cells designed to attack that particular bacteria or toxin), which remain in the body, ready to attack any future bacteria that cause infection and deal with the toxins produced during tetanus or diphtheria infection.
This vaccine is a combination of 2 other vaccines: Hib vaccine plus pertussis - polio - diphtheria - tetanus toxoid vaccine. It is used for infants and children who need both vaccines at the same time. This allows the 2 vaccines to be given in the same injection. It is usually given during routine immunization of infants over 2 months of age, and for children up to the age of 7 years.
