I have spent the last couple of weeks looking into this further and basically your options here in Australia are limited. You basically only have 3 DTPa vaccine options all made by GlaxoSmithKline and all combination vaccines. The 3 options are :
We are going to go w/ option 2 at the 2 month, 4, 6 month, and at 3,5,6 month give the pneumococcal one. We are not doing Hep B, Rotavirus, or HIB. Interestingly the UK also does not routinely administor Rotavirus and HepB. Additionally if you are in the UK you can get a DTPa only vaccine called Pedicel - this is what the NHS administor.
Hope this helps. It is a pitty our choices are limited.....
