DTP-Hib Combination

 

Vaccine manufacturers promote DTP + Hib combination products for primary immunization. However, Recommended Childhood and Adolescent Immunization Schedule - United States July-December 2004 states as follows:

DtaP/Hib combination products should not be used for primary vaccination in infants but can be used as boosters after any Hib vaccine. The committee had made the same recommendation 6 months earlier. What should we do?
