Does the 2-, 4-, and 6-month dosing schedule with PEDIARIX offer adequate protection against hepatitis B?
Yes. Clinical studies have demonstrated that the administration of hepatitis B vaccine in a combination vaccine given at 2, 4, and 6 months induces a seroprotective immune response similar to that achieved with administration of hepatitis B vaccine on a birth, 1-month, and 6-month schedule.5 Additionally, the PEDIARIX immunization schedule (2, 4, and 6 months) adheres to the current ACIP/AAP/AAFP recommendations.
