Abstract:
Combined immunization consists of combined vaccines (including polyvalent vaccines) and simultaneous administration of vaccines, aiming to reduce unnecessary inoculating times for children, and to broaden immunization coverage and a significant larger group of population would be benefit from the Expanded Program on Immunization. In this review, we have summarized a list of research papers focused on combined immunization. By scrutinizing the safety and effectiveness outcomes of combined immunization, we provide some suggestions about upgrading the current immunization program as well as research and development of new combined vaccines.
