Aim: To observe reactogenicity of a three-component acellular pertussis (aP) vaccine simultaneously given with dT-IPV vaccine at the age of 4 years. Results: Of 813 subjects 36% had no adverse events. At the first day the score for pain was 47-55% (aP versus dT-IPV), for redness 3-4% and for swelling 5-6%. Irritability and loss of appetite had a score of 20%. In 3% of the children fever was present. Most symptoms disappeared within 3 days. Conclusion: Boostervaccination with an aP vaccine simultaneously given with dT-IPV vaccine at the age of 4 years is well tolerated.
