A hexavalent vaccine, or 6-in-1 vaccine, is a combination vaccine with six individual vaccines conjugated into one, intended to protect people from multiple diseases.[1][9] The term usually refers to the children's vaccine that protects against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, haemophilus B, and hepatitis B,[1][9] which is used in more than 90 countries around the world including in Europe, Canada, Australia, Jordan, and New Zealand.[1][10]
