- Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficiency condition, based on medical history and physical examination.
- History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine.
- Administration of immunoglobulin and/or any blood products within the three months preceding vaccination or planned administration during the study period.
- Occurrence of transient thrombocytopenia or neurological complications following an earlier immunisation against diphtheria and/or tetanus.
Occurrence of any of the following adverse events after a previous administration of a DTP vaccine:
- Hypersensitivity reaction to any component of the vaccine;
- Encephalopathy of unknown aetiology occurring within 7 days following previous vaccination with pertussis-containing vaccine;
- Fever >= 40°C within 48 hours of vaccination, not due to another identifiable cause;
- Collapse or shock-like state within 48 hours of vaccination;
- Convulsions with or without fever, occurring within 3 days of vaccination.

BOOSTRIX POLIO GROUP
TETRAVAC GROUP
Healthy male or female children, between and including 5 to 6 years of age, who were primed with three doses of Infanrix™ vaccine according to the Italian 3-5-11 month vaccination schedule, additionally received a single booster dose of Boostrix Polio™ vaccine co-administered with a single dose of Priorix Tetra™ vaccine at Day 0. Boostrix Polio™ vaccine was administered intramuscularly in the deltoid region of the left upper arm, while the Priorix Tetra™ vaccine was administered subcutaneously in the deltoid region of the right upper arm.
