• Combination Vaccines
  • DTaP-IPV/Hib (Pentacel, Sanofi)

Can we give Pentacel (DTaP-IPV/Hib) if we don’t know the type of DTaP vaccine the child previously received?

Yes. CDC recommends that whenever feasible, only one manufacturer’s DTaP product be used for the entire pertussis series, but that vaccinations should not be deferred if the DTaP product previously given is unavailable or unknown.
