- DTwP-HepB-Hib vaccine, which protects against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type B[1] and is generally used in middle- and low-income countries.
- DTaP-IPV/Hib vaccine, used in the UK until 2017 (replaced by a hexavalent vaccine).
- DTaP-IPV-HepB vaccine, approved in the US.
