Postmarketing Safety Surveillance of a Hexavalent Vaccine in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.

We assessed the safety of hexavalent vaccine diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis, inactivated poliovirus, hepatitis b, and haemophilus influenzae b conjugate vaccine in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. Five hundred-one reports of adverse events (AEs) were identified; 21 (4.2%) were serious. Most frequently reported AEs were fever (10.2%) and injection site erythema (5.4%). AEs reported were consistent with findings from prelicensure studies.
