DTaP-IPV/Hib vaccine is a 5-in-1 combination vaccine that protects against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, and Haemophilus influenzae type B.[1][2]
Its generic name is "diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis adsorbed, inactivated poliovirus and haemophilus B conjugate vaccine", and it is also known as DTaP-IPV-Hib.[1]
Uses
[edit]DTaP-IPV/Hib vaccine is administered to young children to immunise against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, and diseases caused by Haemophilus influenzae type B.[1]
Formulations
[edit]A branded formulation marketed in the United States is Pentacel, manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur.[3]
Pentacel is known in the UK and Canada as Pediacel.[4][5]
An equivalent vaccine marketed in the UK and Canada by GlaxoSmithKline is Infanrix IPV + Hib.[5] This is a two-part vaccine. The DTaP-IPV component is supplied as a sterile liquid, which is used to reconstitute lyophilized (freeze-dried) Hib vaccine.[citation needed]
Pentaxim is a liquid formulation marketed by Sanofi Pasteur.[6]
Availability
[edit]It is only licensed for young children.[7] The United States Food and Drug Administration has approved[when?] the vaccine for children from age 6 weeks up to age 5 years.[1] It was used in the UK until 2017, following which a 6-in-1 vaccine became available containing the additional protection against Hepatitis B.[2]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
