Objectives: To assess the impact of a birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine (HepB) on the reactogenicity and immunogenicity of a novel diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTaP)- HepB-inactivated poliovirus (IPV)/ type b (Hib) combination vaccine administered subsequently at 2, 4 and 6 months of age.
Methods: Neonates ( = 550) were randomized into two groups with regard to receipt of HepB at birth. All subjects in both groups received DTaP-HepB-IPV/Hib at 2, 4 and 6 months of age.
