Warnings & precautions in children
Carefully consider administration of pertussis containing vaccines if any of the following have occurred with previous administration:
- high fever (≥ 40 ° C) with no other cause within 48 hours of vaccination;
- collapse or shock-like state within 48 hours of vaccination (hypotonic-hyporesponsive episode [HHE]);
- persistent (> 3 hours) and inconsolable crying within 48 hours of vaccination;
- convulsions with or without fever within 3 days of vaccination.
Use caution if Guillain-Barré syndrome develops within 6 weeks of previous administration of a tetanus toxoid vaccine. Weigh potential benefits and potential risks.
Monitor vaccinees with a history of febrile seizures carefully as such adverse events may occur within 2 to 3 days of vaccination.
For primary immunization in very preterm infants (≤ 28 weeks gestation), take into account the risk of apnea and the need to monitor respiratory functions for 48–72 hours, especially in children with an underdeveloped respiratory system. However, given the importance of vaccination, do not delay or withhold vaccination from these children. There may be a lower immune response in premature children.
Immunological response may be lacking after vaccination of immunocompromised patients.
Urinary excretion of Haemophilus influenza b capsular polysaccharide antigen has been reported following vaccination with a Hib vaccine; if sensitive tests are used within at least 30 days of vaccination, the test may be positive; Always confirm a Hib infection with another test during this time.
