3. What are Pentavalent Vaccines? A Pentavalent Vaccine is a combined vaccine with FIVE individual vaccines conjugated into one, to provide protection to a child against five potentially life threatening diseases- Diphtheria Tetanus Pertussis (Whooping Cough) Hepatitis B Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)

4. Components of a pentavalent Vaccine Diphtheria Toxoid : This component contains inactivated toxins produced by Corynebacterium diphtheriae bacteria. It stimulated an immune response against diphtheria, a bacterial infection that can lead to severe respiratory and systemic symptoms. Tetanus Toxoid : This component consists of inactivated toxins produced by Clostridium tetani bacteria. It produces immunity against tetanus, a potentially fatal condition characterized by muscle stiffness and spasms.

5. Pertussis Antigens : Pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, is caused by Bordetella pertussis bacteria. Pentavalent vaccines include antigens from pertussis to provide immunity against this highly contagious respiratory disease. Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg): Hepatitis B is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) . This inclusion of HBsAg in pentavalent vaccines helps protect against hepatitis B, a viral infection that can lead to liver disease, including cirrhosis and liver cancer. Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) Antigens: These antigens come from the Haemophilus influenzae type b bacterium . They help prevent infections caused by Hib, which can lead to serious conditions like pneumonia, meningitis, and bloodstream infections.

6. Storage, dosage and schedule Storage : Pentavalent vaccine is a freeze sensitive vaccine and should be stored and transported at +2 ºC to +8 º C i n ice lined refrigerators and vaccine carriers with conditioned ice packs.

7. benefits of pentavalent vaccines: Comprehensive protection : Pentavalent vaccines provide protection against multiple diseases with a single shot, simplifying the immunization process. Reduced vaccination visits : Fewer vaccinations are needed, which can reduce the number of visits to healthcare facilities, making it more convenient for parents and caregivers. Cost-effective : Combining multiple vaccines into one shot can be more cost-effective for healthcare systems and governments, as it reduces the costs associated with administering individual vaccines. Herd Immunity : Widespread use of Pentavalent Vaccines contribute to herd immunity, protecting even those who cannot be vaccinated, such as individuals with certain medical conditions.
