Infanrix Hexa Dosage/Direction for Use

Posology: The primary vaccination schedule consists of two or three doses (of 0.5 mL) which should be administered according to official recommendations (see Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics under Actions for schedules evaluated in clinical trials). Infanrix Hexa can be considered for the booster if the antigen composition is in accordance with the official recommendations. (See Table 4.)

The Expanded Program on Immunization schedule (at 6, 10, 14 weeks of age) may only be used if a dose of hepatitis B vaccine has been given at birth.
Where a dose of hepatitis B vaccine is given at birth, Infanrix Hexa can be used as a replacement for supplementary doses of hepatitis B vaccine from the age of 6 weeks. If a second dose of hepatitis B vaccine is required before this age, monovalent hepatitis B vaccine should be used.
Locally established immunoprophylactic measures against hepatitis B should be maintained.
Other combinations of antigens have been studied in clinical trials following primary vaccination with Infanrix Hexa and may be used for a booster dose: diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis (DTPa), diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type b (DTPa+Hib), diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, inactivated poliomyelitis, Haemophilus influenzae type b (DTPa-IPV+Hib) and diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, hepatitis B, inactivated poliomyelitis, Haemophilus influenzae type b (DTPa-HBV-IPV+Hib).
Method of administration: Infanrix Hexa is for deep intramuscular injection.
