This vaccine contains components of Bordetella pertussis, diphtheria and tetanus toxoids, the hepatitis B surface antigen, and inactivated polioviruses.

The vaccine is administered intramuscularly, usually in multiple doses, according to recommended vaccination schedules for infants and young children. It is essential for preventing serious diseases such as poliomyelitis, chronic hepatitis B, and complications associated with diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough.

Common side effects include fever, irritability, drowsiness, and pain at the injection site. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions may occur.
