Does PEDIARIX offer the same protection against poliovirus as the licensed inactivated polio vaccine?
Yes. A clinical study has demonstrated that immunogenicity against poliovirus with PEDIARIX at 2, 4, and 6 months of age is similar to the licensed inactivated polio vaccine (IPOL® Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine, IPV).5† Additionally, the PEDIARIX immunization schedule (2, 4, and 6 months) adheres to the current ACIP/AAP/AAFP recommendations.
