What is Penta-component vaccine? Penta-component vaccine is a combination vaccine produced by French Pasteur that contains inactivated polio vaccine, acellular DTP vaccine and Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine, which can replace polio vaccine and DTP vaccine. Vaccination of Penta-component vaccine can prevent five diseases at the same time, including diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, meningitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b, pneumonia, pericarditis, bacteremia, epiglottitis and polio.
The meaning of vaccination
The immunogenicity of the Penta-component vaccine is no different from that of the three vaccines. The child is well tolerated after vaccination, and the seroprotection rate is close to 100%. Both the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American Advisory Committee on Immunization recommend the use of combined vaccines, believing that Penta-component vaccine minimizes the number of injections from 12 doses to 4 doses, reducing the risk of pain and adverse reactions caused by the number of doses, and reducing parents The time and energy spent on vaccinating babies can also improve compliance with immunization. Compared with separate vaccination, the combination vaccine is recommended first.
Way of inoculation
At 2, 3, 4 months of age, or 3, 4, and 5 months of age, 3 doses of basic immunization; 1 dose of booster immunization at 18 months of age.

For infants whose basic immunization program has not been completed (ie vaccination <3 doses), it is usually considered to continue vaccination.
6. If you are receiving immunosuppressive therapy or suffer from immunodeficiency disease; the body may reduce the immune response to the vaccine. Therefore, it is recommended to vaccinate after treatment.
7. When vaccinating preterm infants born ≤ 28 weeks of pregnancy, the potential risk of asphyxia and necessary 48-72 hours respiratory monitoring should be considered, especially for those infants with a history of respiratory hypoplasia.
