    Dtap question

    Hi everyone,

    Up to this point we haven't given the kids any vaccinations with the except of vit k at birth.

    We are starting my son at a much bigger school and the topic of vaxing has come up.

    Has anyone been successful in sourcing Tripacel in australia recently? I tried various pharmacies but apparently because the govt have decided to contract another brand which effectively becomes a multi vax (hexa) - we are once again given an "all or nothing" choice.

    Interested to see if any other parents have successfully tracked down the Sanofi Tripacel in our country?

    The smallest you can get is Infanrix IPV unfortunately.

    Thanks for letting me know.

    Is there an alternative if we wait til he is a bit older? Our local clinic is utterly hopeless and only give advice based on the schedule.
