Fewer Shots—Same Protection Combination vaccines take two or more vaccines that could be given individually and put them into one shot. Children get the same protection as they do from individual vaccines given separately—but with fewer shots. So, at a doctor’s visit, your child may only get two or three shots to protect him from five diseases, instead of five individual shots. Fewer shots may mean less pain for your child and less stress for you. The measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR) and diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccine (DTaP) each protect your child against three diseases. Some examples of common combination vaccines for children are:
• Pediarix, which combines DTaP, Hep B, and IPV (polio)
• ProQuad, which combines MMR and varicella (chickenpox)
• Kinrix, which combines
• DTaP and IPV (polio)
• Pentacel, which combines DTaP, IPV (polio), and Hib T
