FDA approves Pediarix to cut six shots for babies
The FDA gave approval to Pediarix, a combination vaccine that protects against diphtheria tetanus pertussis hepatitis B and polio with three injections by age six months, reducing the typical 20 injections many babies receive by age two. GlaxoSmithKline will market the vaccine early next month at roughly the same cost as the separate shots, though it does not cover meningitis or pneumonia.
