Abstract

A vaccine containing inactivated polio (eIPV) (Pediacel) is now used in the UK. The effect of the eIPV on other components is not well understood. We studied Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and tetanus responses in preterm infants, <32 weeks gestation at birth, immunised with the (then) standard UK primary vaccines and either oral polio vaccine (OPV) or eIPV and analysed the effect showing reduced Hib responses with eIPV. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
