COMBINED VACCINES IN PEDIATRIC PRACTICE: WHEN THE PERTUSSIS VACCINE IS FUN!

Abstract

Today the tendency towards reducing the invasive techniques in pediatric patients is of current importance. This also applies to vaccination. Creating a modern multi-vaccine reduces the number of painful injections to infants, because most of the vaccines are introduced in the first year of the life. The article presents the convincing data concerning the combined vaccines efficiency and safety. There is shown the possibility of their effective combination with other monovaccines, the absence of adverse reactions summation and even their reduction by reducing the multiplicity of the vaccine introduced (in the case of monovaccines).
