Infanrix Polio is a combination vaccine that targets bacterial toxins and viral particles to prevent several childhood infectious diseases. - Diphtheria: induces protective antibodies that prevent diphtheria infection. - Tetanus: stimulates immunity that blocks tetanus toxin effects. - Pertussis (whooping cough): generates antibodies against pertussis antigens to reduce disease severity. - Poliomyelitis: creates immunity to poliovirus types, preventing paralytic poliomyelitis.

Frequently asked questions

What is Infanrix Polio used for?+
Infanrix Polio is a combination vaccine used to protect infants and young children against four serious diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough) and poliomyelitis. By stimulating the immune system, it helps prevent infection and the severe complications associated with each disease.
How does the poliovirus component of Infanrix Polio work?+
The poliovirus component contains inactivated type 3 poliovirus (Saukett strain). When injected, the virus particles cannot cause disease but are recognized by the immune system, prompting the production of neutralising antibodies that protect against future exposure to wild poliovirus.
What is the usual dose of Infanrix Polio?+
The dosing schedule for Infanrix Polio is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on national immunisation guidelines. Typically, the vaccine is given as a series of intramuscular injections at specific ages in infancy, but the exact timing and number of doses are set by the prescriber.
Is Infanrix Polio safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Data on the use of Infanrix Polio during pregnancy are limited, and the vaccine is generally not recommended for pregnant women unless the potential benefits outweigh any theoretical risks. The vaccine is considered compatible with breastfeeding, but mothers should consult their healthcare provider for personalized advice.
How do I order Infanrix Polio from GNH USA?+

GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, cold‑chain shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Infanrix Polio compare with other DTaP‑IPV vaccines?+
Infanrix Polio is an EU‑licensed, fully adsorbed combination vaccine that includes inactivated poliovirus type 3, diphtheria and tetanus toxoids, and acellular pertussis antigens. Compared with some alternatives, it uses a specific pertussis filamentous haemagglutinin component and a defined poliovirus strain, offering comparable efficacy and a safety profile consistent with other licensed DTaP‑IPV products.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Infanrix Polio?+
Infanrix Polio must be stored refrigerated at 2 °C to 8 °C. It should be kept in the original packaging to protect from light, must not be frozen, and should not be shaken. Before use, allow the vial to reach room temperature for a short period if required by the label.
How is Infanrix Polio administered?+
The vaccine is administered by a trained healthcare professional as an intramuscular injection, usually into the anterolateral thigh of infants. The injection site is cleaned with an appropriate antiseptic, and the recommended volume is drawn into a sterile syringe before administration.
What are the most serious risks associated with Infanrix Polio?+
Serious adverse events are rare but may include anaphylaxis, seizures, Guillain‑Barré syndrome, and prolonged hypotonic‑hyporesponsive episodes. Immediate medical attention is required if signs of a severe allergic reaction (such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat) or neurological symptoms occur after vaccination.
Who should not receive Infanrix Polio?+
Infanrix Polio should be avoided in individuals with a known severe allergy to any vaccine component, including the aluminium adjuvant, or in those who have experienced a previous severe reaction to a DTaP‑IPV vaccine. Children with a moderate or severe acute illness should have vaccination postponed until recovery.
