HELPING PROTECT KIDS IS A FULL-TIME JOB
AND PENTACEL IS UP TO THE TASK

Let's work together and help protect kids against potentially deadly diseases with the DTaP-IPV/Hib vaccine.1

INDICATION FOR PENTACEL AND QUADRACEL

Pentacel is indicated for active immunization against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, and invasive disease due to H influenzae type b. Pentacel is approved for use as a 4-dose series in children 6 weeks through 4 years of age (prior to fifth birthday).

Quadracel is indicated for active immunization against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and poliomyelitis. A single dose of Quadracel is approved as a fifth dose in the diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTaP) vaccination series, and as a fourth or fifth dose in the inactivated poliovirus (IPV) vaccination series, in children 4 through 6 years of age whose previous DTaP vaccine doses have been with Pentacel and/or DAPTACEL® (Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed), and/or VAXELIS® (Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis, Inactivated Poliovirus, Haemophilus b Conjugate and Hepatitis B Vaccine).

IT TAKES TWO:
PENTACEL & QUADRACEL

Start your primary DTaP immunization series in children 6 weeks through 4 years of age (prior to 5th birthday) with 4 doses of Pentacel, the only DTaP-IPV-Hib combination.1

Finish the DTaP series with Quadracel as the 5th dose in children 4 through 6 years of age.2

A WAY TO COMPLETE THE DTaP
SERIES WITH PENTACEL

Even if you didn't use Pentacel for the first 3 doses, you can use it for the fourth dose of the DTaP series containing the same pertussis antigens as in Pentacel.1*

*Data are not available on the safety and effectiveness of using mixed sequences of Pentacel and DTaP vaccine from different manufacturers.
