Symptom narrative

Incorrect vaccine; Unapproved age; This non-serious case was reported by a other health professional via call center representative and described the occurrence of wrong vaccine administered in a 7-month-old male patient who received DTPa-IPV (Kinrix) (batch number Y49BZ, expiry date 17-MAY-2026) for prophylaxis. Co-suspect products included DTPa-HBV-IPV (Pediarix) for prophylaxis. On 05-JUN-2025, the patient received Kinrix. On an unknown date, the patient received Pediarix. On 05-JUN-2025, an unknown time after receiving Kinrix and not applicable after receiving Pediarix, the patient experienced wrong vaccine administered (Verbatim: Incorrect vaccine) and inappropriate age at vaccine administration (Verbatim: Unapproved age). The outcome of the wrong vaccine administered and inappropriate age at vaccine administration were not applicable. This report is made by GSK without prejudice and does not imply any admission or liability for the incident or its consequences. Additional Information: GSK receipt date: 05-JUN-2025 Office Manager called to report one of my Medical Assistants gave to, a 7 month old baby, a Kinrix vaccine instead of the Pediarix, which led to wrong vaccine administered and inappropriate age at vaccine administration. We wanted to know if we need to revaccinate the baby or is there going to be any side effects or reactions to, I mean for the baby. The patient was supposed to receive the 1st dose of Pediarix.
