Does PEDIARIX provide 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])¶ [6]. Additionally, the PEDIARIX immunization schedule (2, 4, and 6 months) adheres to the current ACIP, AAP, and AAFP recommendations.[5] ¶ IPOL is a registered trademark of Sanofi Pasteur.
