It works by developing immunity by initiation of mild infection. This type of infection does not cause illness but helps to stimulate body immune system to produce antibodies to protect against any future infections.

Tetraxim® is a single injection vaccine that offers primary advantages and also provides polio vaccination coverage as high as that for 3 doses of DTaP vaccine. Tetraxim® is a liquid combination of diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, and inactivated polio virus vaccine (DTaP-IPV) which has been licensed since 1997 in more than 70 countries.1
