פדיאסל - Pediacel

Pediacel is indicated for immunization of children at or above the age of 2 months and as a booster in children up to their 7th birthday against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, poliomyelitis and invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b disease. In infants, three infectons are to be given intramuscularly at 2, 4 and 6 months of age followed by a booster at 18 months of age. Children who have had pertusis, tetanus, diphtheria or haemophilus influenzae type b invasive disease should still be immunized since these clinical infections do not always confer immunity. Children who have had natural pertussis can continue to receive pertussis - containing vaccines. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected persons HIV- infected individuals, both asymptomatic and symptomatic, should be immunized with Pediacel vaccine according to standard schedules.
