Hi Dear
welcome to the HCM,
Infanrix and Hibrix combination is available.Here IPV has to be taken seperately.
Even cellular type of vaccine are quite good except the fever and pain part . This is usually over come by proper doses and duration of paracetamol to the child.
Hope the query is answered.
