Safety of Pentavalent DTaP-IPV/Hib Combination Vaccine in Post-marketing Surveillance in Guangzhou, China, from 2011 to 2017

Infectious diseases, such as diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, Haemophilus influenzae type B, and poliomyelitis (polio), are seriously harmful to children's health. Vaccination is the most effective way to control these diseases. In 2010, the State Food and Drug Administration approved the DTaP-IPV/Hib combination vaccine (from now on referred to as the pentavalent vaccine) for cell-free pertussis (DTaP), inactivated poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenzae type B (combination), and children started to be vaccinated with this pentavalent vaccine on May 11, 2011, in China.
