What is Pentacel?
Pentacel is a combination of 5 vaccines used to immunize against diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae type B, pertussis, polio, and tetanus. Pentacel is a four-dose treatment used for children aged 6 weeks through 4 years. Pentacel contains inactivated forms of virus or non-toxic versions of the bacteria that stimulate the child’s immune system to develop immunity to the disease. The vaccine will not treat an already active infection in the body and not everyone will develop immunity from every disease to the same extent.
Pentacel is given as an injection into a muscle by your doctor. It is given as 4 separate shots, the first shot is given at 2 months, with the final shot given between the age of 15 to 18 months.
Pentacel active ingredients
Diphtheria is an infection caused by toxins released by certain types of diphtheria known as Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Immunity to this is developed by the production of antibodies to diphtheria toxin.
Tetanus (also known as “lockjaw”, as it can cause a person’s neck and jaw muscles to lock) is an infection caused by Clostridium tetani. Immunity is developed by the production of antibodies to tetanus toxin.
Pertussis (whooping cough) is a respiratory disease caused by Bordetella pertussis. This bacteria creates a variety of chemical responses within the body, although how they are involved in the development of the disease or immunity is not clearly understood.
Polioviruses are enteroviruses, you normally find them in the gastrointestinal tract, but they can spread to the central nervous system as well as other parts of the body. Poliovirus antibodies are produced for the development of immunity against polio.
H. influenzae type b can cause diseases such as meningitis and sepsis. Anti-PRP antibody has been shown to develop protection against disease due to H. influenzae type b.
Pentacel side effects
The most common side effects caused by Pentacel include:
- Mild fever
- Swelling, pain, or tenderness where the shot was injected
In rare instances, Pentacel can cause more serious side effects. These can include:
- Life-threatening allergic reaction – hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat
- Very drowsy or fainting
- High fever
- Irritability and crying
Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Pentacel against your risk of side effects.

Pentacel can interact with other medications. These include:
- Immuno-modulators and Immunosuppressants – abatacept, etanercept, baricitinib
- Treatments for cancer – abemaciclib, palbociclib, azathioprine, nilotinib
- Treatments for SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus) – belimumab
