The most coomon used in Pkistan is same that being used in USA/CANADA/UK ETC called "PENTACEL", Pentacel is a combination vaccine for immunization against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio and Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib). It contains no thimerosal, a controversial mercury-containing organic compound previously used in childhood vaccines as a preservative. Pentacel is approved for administration as a four-dose series at two, four, six and 15 to 18 months of age.
