Encephalopathy (eg, coma, decreased level of consciousness, prolonged seizures) within 7 days of a previous dose of a pertussis-containing vaccine that is not attributable to another identifiable cause is a contraindication to administration of any pertussis-containing vaccine, including Pentacel vaccine. (p.6)
(In other words, if a DTaP containing shot caused brain damage, don’t give the child another one).
The most frequent (>50% of participants) systemic reactions following any dose were fussiness/irritability and inconsolable crying. The most frequent (>30% of participants) injection site reactions following any dose were tenderness and increased circumference of the injected arm. (Adverse Reactions – p.8)
Safety Studies used vaccine control groups and/or concomitantly administered vaccines. (Table 1 – p.10)
