What is Pediarix?
Pediarix is a combination vaccine used to protect infants and children against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), hepatitis B, and poliovirus infections. It is administered through intramuscular injection and is typically given in a series of shots during early childhood, starting at 2 months of age. Pediarix helps to simplify the vaccination schedule, reducing the number of shots needed to provide immunity against these diseases.Side Effects
- Allergic reaction: Itching or hives, swelling in your face or hands, swelling or tingling in your mouth or throat, chest tightness, trouble breathing
- Crying constantly for 3 hours or longer.
- Fever higher than 105 degrees F.
Warnings
- Make sure your doctor knows if your child has had a severe reaction to previous vaccinations of any kind. A severe reaction could be collapsing, crying constantly for longer than 3 hours, having a fever over 105 degrees, not being able to move (Guillain-Barre syndrome), or having seizures.
- Make sure your child€™s doctor knows if your child has bleeding problems, nervous system problems (such as seizures), or an allergy to latex rubber.
- Tell your child€™s doctor about all other vaccinations your child has had, especially if those vaccinations were part of a series. This vaccine can be used to finish some series of vaccinations, but not all. Tell your child€™s doctor if your child has ever received medicine for hepatitis B.
- Tell your child€™s doctor if your child is sick or has an infection (such as a cold or the flu). The doctor may want to wait until your child is well before giving the vaccination.
- Children who have problems with their immune systems may not be fully protected by this vaccine. Your child may have immune system problems if he or she is receiving chemotherapy for cancer, has HIV infection or AIDS, or is using a high dose of a steroid medicine such as prednisone. Because there may be some benefit, your child's doctor may still want to give the vaccine.
