|Mar 2009Abstract
With the expanded programme of immunization (EPI) achieving near 100% coverage, the demand for non-EPI vaccines is rising. The combined vaccines have become popular among health care providers and the patients due to easier administration and a single injection covering many diseases. They have been shown to be safe and effective. We report a child who developed a severe febrile illness following a combined DPT+HepB+Hib vaccine.
Key words: adverse reaction, DPT+HepB+Hib vaccine
