DTwP-HepB-Hib vaccine is a 5-in-1 combination vaccine with five individual vaccines conjugated into one.[1] It protects against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type B,[1] which is generally used in middle- and low-income countries, where polio vaccine is given separately.[2][3]

By 2013, pentavalent vaccines accounted for 100% of the DTP-containing vaccines procured by UNICEF, which supplies vaccines to a large proportion of the world's children.[4]
