I insist on giving my child the DTPa vaccine, alone without combining it with other vaccines. I care about the acellular vaccine. This vaccine has been withdrawn from the Polish. How can I get it? How does the import from abroad look like, are there any replacements available in Poland without 5 w1, etc.

DTPa is a combined vaccine against diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus that contains acellular (acellular) pertussis antigens, as opposed to the "standard" version with killed, enveloped Bordetella pertussis bacteria. Purified pertussis antigen in combination with toxoids (Diphtheriae, pertussis, tetani vaccinum) without combining with other vaccines contains m.in. vaccines: Adacel and Boostrix : https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/2275/adacel-iniekcja/apteki/w-warszawie https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/13293/boostrix-iniekcja/apteki/w-warszawie Other vaccines with this composition - Infanrix-DTPa, Tdap SSI vaccine, Tripacel are not available or do not have a valid registration. The registered indications for Adacel are to strengthen protection against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough) in children from 4 years of age, adolescents and adults after a full course of primary vaccination. Similarly, Boostrix is used for booster vaccination in patients aged 4 years and over. They are therefore not suitable for primary vaccination in younger children. DTP vaccine is available free of charge as part of the preventive vaccination program, while acellular pertussis components have highly combined vaccines 5 in 1 or 6 in 1: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/kalendarz-szczepien-dla-dzieci-i-niemowlat I have no knowledge about the availability of DTPa vaccine abroad - GdziePoLek currently collects data from pharmacies operating in Polish. In the case of medicines not available in Poland, but available abroad, a targeted import procedure is possible, but it is difficult for me to assess whether you would obtain your consent: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/import-docelowy-jak-sprowadzic-lek-z-zagranicy
