Does anyone here use Pentacel or any other combination vaccine?

We have as well. Just wondering if you document the VIS for it through AC?

I think you have to use either the combo VIS or the individual VIS's to accomplish this. There is no specific Pentacel VIS, just as there is not one for Pediarix. I've never asked which one they use probably either combo or DTaP.

Is there a combo VIS. If so, I don't see it on the CDC website. There is only one place to enter a VIS, so you can't put all three there. So, basically, it can't be done.

I'm talking about the "babys first vaccines" http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/vis/downloads/vis-multi.pdfwhich can be used as a combo.

Wendell,
You're a genius! That can be used for Pentacel? I guess so. Then can we use them for all of those instead of the individual ones?

Sometimes you still need the individuals, but it helps a lot
