 | | For infants, the immunogenicity of PRP-OMP (which has a carrier derived from the meningococcal outer membrane protein) appears to be unaffected by the absence of prior or concurrent DTP vaccination (24). |
 | | Immunogenicity studies among infants who received TETRAMUNETM at ages 2, 4, and 6 months (37, Lederle Laboratories/Praxis Biologics, unpublished data) indicated that antibody responses to Hib PRP, diphtheria, and tetanus toxins were comparable to or higher than those in persons who received separate, but concurrent administration of DTP and HbOC vaccines. |
