PG - 1479-1492 LID - 10.1007/s40121-022-00650-8 [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION: TETRAXIM (Sanofi), a combined diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, and inactivated poliovirus (DTaP-IPV) vaccine, has been licensed in South Korea since 2009. In accordance with the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety regulations, this post-marketing surveillance (PMS) study evaluated the safety of the DTaP-IPV vaccine in real-world clinical practice in infants and children who received it as either a part of the three-dose primary series dose at 2, 4, and 6 months or school entry booster between 4 and 6 years of age. METHODS: This multicenter, observational, PMS study was conducted in real-world practice in South Korea for 6 years (2009-2015) in participants aged between 2 months and 6 years. The study outcomes included solicited reactions, unsolicited adverse events (AEs)/adverse drug reactions (ADRs), unexpected AEs/ADRs, and serious AEs (SAEs)/ADRs. RESULTS: Data from 647 participants was included in the safety analysis. Overall, 268 AEs were reported by 181 (28%) participants: 47 (17.5%) solicited reactions, 220 (82.1%) unsolicited AEs, and 1 (0.4%) unsolicited ADR. A total of 48 AEs (including 47 solicited reactions) were reported to have a causal relationship with the DTaP-IPV vaccine and were reported by 36 (5.6%) participants. A total of 212 unexpected AEs were reported by 152 (23.5%) participants, none of which had a causal relationship with the DTaP-IPV vaccine. Neither immediate AEs nor SAEs were reported during the study. Among the participants who reported AEs, 220 (34%) were on concomitant medications. Most AEs were of mild intensity, and all participants recovered. CONCLUSION: No safety concerns related to the DTaP-IPV vaccine in a real-world setting were raised in participants aged 2-6 months for the primary series and 4-6 years for the school-entry booster dose in the Korean population. The DTaP-IPV vaccine was well tolerated and can be continued as part of routine immunization programs in infants and children. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT01437423. CI - (c) 2022. The Author(s).
