What Is the PENTAXIM Vaccine Dubai?

The PENTAXIM vaccine Dubai is a 5-in-1 paediatric combination vaccine that protects children against five serious diseases in a single injection:

Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (Whooping Cough), Poliomyelitis (Polio), and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib).

Administered by DHA-licensed physicians at your home, hotel, or clinic anywhere in Dubai, PENTAXIM is a non-live, acellular combination vaccine manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur. Each 0.5 mL intramuscular dose reduces the number of injections required while maintaining high immunogenicity and safety.

Unlike Hexaxim or Infanrix Hexa, Pentaxim does not include Hepatitis B, making it suitable for children who receive hepatitis B vaccination separately.

Dr. Mauada, DHA-Licensed Physician:
"Pentaxim is often chosen when parents prefer to separate hepatitis B vaccination or follow specific international schedules. It provides strong protection against core childhood infections in a simplified format."

How Much Does the PENTAXIM Vaccine Cost in Dubai?

PENTAXIM vaccine Dubai price: 475 AED per 0.5 mL dose — including DHA-licensed clinician, cold-chain maintained vaccine, sterile equipment, pre-vaccination screening, and same-visit certificate.

Who Should Get the PENTAXIM Vaccine in Dubai?

PENTAXIM is recommended for infants and young children as part of routine immunisation.

The following groups most commonly receive PENTAXIM in Dubai:

• Infants beginning vaccination at 2 months

• Children following European or alternative immunisation schedules

What Is Inside the PENTAXIM Formulation?

Each 0.5 mL dose contains purified antigens for five diseases.

PENTAXIM is a non-live vaccine and cannot cause infection.

How Does the PENTAXIM Vaccine Work?

PENTAXIM stimulates the immune system by introducing inactivated or purified components of multiple pathogens, triggering the production of protective antibodies.

These antibodies:

• Recognise and neutralise bacteria and viruses

• Prevent severe infections

• Provide long-term immune memory

The combination vaccine allows broad protection with fewer injections, improving compliance and coverage.
