    • Description: INFANRIX is indicated for active immunization against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough) as a 5-dose series in infants and children 6 weeks to 7 years of age. INFANRIX should not be administered to any infant before the age of 6 weeks, or to individuals 7 years of age or older (FDA: INFANRIX).
  • Preparation: The diphtheria toxin is produced by growing Corynebacterium diphtheriae in Fenton medium containing a bovine extract.
  • Immunization Route: Intramuscular injection (i.m.)
  • Storage: Store INFANRIX refrigerated between 2° and 8°C (36° and 46°F). Do not freeze.
  • Approved Age for Licensed Use: INFANRIX is indicated for active immunization against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough) as a 5-dose series in infants and children 6 weeks to 7 years of age (prior to seventh birthday). Because of the substantial risks of complications from pertussis disease in infants, completion of the primary series of 3 doses of vaccine early in life is strongly recommended. INFANRIX should not be administered to any infant before the age of 6 weeks, or to individuals 7 years of age or older. When passive protection against tetanus or diphtheria is required, Tetanus Immune Globulin or Diphtheria Antitoxin, respectively, should be administered at separate sites (FDA: INFANRIX).
  • Contraindication: Hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine and ti should not be administered to anyone with a known previous allergic reaction associated with the vaccine (FDA: INFANRIX).
  • Description: INFANRIX is indicated for active immunization against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough) as a 5-dose series in infants and children 6 weeks to 7 years of age. INFANRIX should not be administered to any infant before the age of 6 weeks, or to individuals 7 years of age or older (FDA: INFANRIX).
