We have no data

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) | CDC votes on and approves unanimously an adjuvanted Hepatitis B vaccine that has never been tested with application of other adjuvanted vaccines. The adjuvant is new. 


Questioner: "Is there any comment on using this vaccine at the same time with other adjuvanted vaccines?"

Person from CDC: "We have no data to make a recommendation one way or the other."

Dr. Amanda Cohn of the CDC: "So um just to sort of put this in context of other vaccines, um while pre-clinical studies were not done while using these vaccines simultaneously, our general approach to immunizations is that um they should be given, they can be given at the same time in different um limbs." 

Dr. Hunter: "Are adjuvanted, multiple adjuvanted vaccines, used in Europe or other markets?"

Dr. Ward: "Not to my knowledge."
