Giving polio, DTaP, and MMR vaccines together in infants
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at giving two routine vaccines at the same time to 2-month-old babies: the inactivated polio vaccine (sIPV) along with the DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough) vaccine or the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine. The goal is to see if it's safe and works well, so your baby would get their scheduled shots in one visit.

This study is testing whether giving the third dose of an inactivated polio vaccine together with a hepatitis A vaccine is safe and works well in 4-month-old babies. Your child would receive both vaccines at one visit, which could mean fewer shots for your baby.
This study compares different ways of giving the polio vaccine to babies, either as a separate shot or combined with other routine vaccines. It aims to find the best schedule for protecting babies from polio.
This study tests whether giving the chickenpox vaccine at the same time as the MMR and DTaP vaccines is safe for toddlers. Your child may get extra protection with fewer doctor visits.
This study tests giving babies two different types of polio vaccines in a specific order to see which is safer and more effective. If your baby is about 2 months old and hasn't had any polio vaccine yet, they may be able to join.
This study tests a new combined vaccine that protects against several serious diseases in one shot. It aims to check if the vaccine is safe and works well in infants and toddlers.
This study tests a combined one-shot vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox in healthy children aged 4 to 6 who've already had their first shots. It aims to see if this new combination vaccine is as effective and safe as giving separate boosters.
