WHAT PEDIACEL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
PEDIACEL is a vaccine. Vaccines are used to protect against infectious
diseases.
PEDIACEL helps to protect against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis,
poliomyelitis and serious diseases
caused by _Haemophilus influenzae_ type b. PEDIACEL is given to
children between the ages of 6 weeks
and 4 years of age.
The vaccine works by causing the body to produce its own protection
(antibodies) against the bacteria and
viruses that cause these different infections:

Diphtheria is an infectious disease that usually first affects the
throat. In the throat, the infection
causes pain and swelling which can lead to suffocation. The bacteria
that cause the disease also
make a toxin (poison) that can damage the heart, kidneys and nerves.

Tetanus (often called lock jaw) is usually caused by the tetanus
bacteria entering a deep wound. The
bacteria make a toxin (poison) that causes spasms of the muscles,
leading to inability to breathe and
the possibility of suffocation.

Pertussis (often called whooping cough) is a bacterial inf
