New Infarix Vaccine - 6 week one

[RhiChiChi]

The two Infanrix are Hexa (Combined Diphtheria-Tetanus-acellular Pertussis (DTPa), Hepatitis B, Inactivated Poliovirus and Haemophilus influenzae type b Vaccine) and IPV (Combined Diphtheria-Tetanus-acellular Pertussis (DTPa) and Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine)

so neither incorporate the flu vaccine, the Hexa one which is like IPV but plus Hep B and Hib is not that new either been around at least 16 months as DS has had it.

Maybe on the phone you saw influenzae and thought flu?

I've just checked Miss K's vaccinations that she received she had all which included Hexa, Rotavirus (oral) and Pneumococcal

Dd1 had IPV last week - no hep b and no hib.

The infanrix penta is different to to IPV in that it has the DTP, polio and Hep B.
