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: 18-AUG-2025 The reporter was calling to see if you have any information on if a patient were to get a Pediarix along with the Hepatitis B at the same time, if they have any information on any kind of adverse side effects that the reporter look at the patient. The reporter asked if the patient received both, the Pediarix and the Hepatitis B separately in the same visit was there any side effects that they needed to be watching for any in danger to the patient. The reporter asked it was the First dose of Pediarix, they had two pentacel. They did not Pentacel anymore, so they have switched for pediarix so then, the patient was given pediarix that also has hepatitis B in it and they gave also separately Hep B vaccine on the day of reporting as well. This would be the Third, actually, the Fourth Hepatitis B, because they had 2 doses on the day of reporting which led to extra dose administered and overdose.
