No. It contains a combination of vaccines including:
- diphtheria (using an inactivated toxin),
- pertussis (using an acellular form),
- polio (using inactive or attenuated form),
- tetanus (using an inactivated toxin)
- Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib)(using a conjugate form )
Sometimes this includes:
hepatitis B (using viral envelope proteins)

What is pentavalent vaccine?
It is the combination of five vaccines: diptheria , pertusis, tetanus ,hepatitis b, and hib virus.
What is role of virus in making vaccine?
The most common role of a virus in making vaccines is injection of a live weaken form of the virus. This virus will reproduce poorly once inside the body.
How the pulse polio vaccine is given?
It can be given orally or as an injection.
Which is the pentavalent impurity is boron or germanium or indium or antimony?
Which is the pentavalent impurity is boron or germanium or indium or antimony
What is in the injection for the disease for Typhoid?
none, it's a virus, not bacteria
What 2 scientist developed a vaccine that brought polio under control?
Salk & SabinThe Salk vaccine was the first and is a traditional killed virus vaccine administered by injection.The Sabin vaccine is an attenuated live virus vaccine usually administered as a drop of liquid placed on a sugar cube and taken by mouth.
What are the other names of pentavalent and trivalent?
Pentavalent atoms are collectively known as prictogens.Trivalent atoms are collectively known after their simplest member, boron.
What immunization achieved by the injection of attenuated measles virus?
artificially acquired passive immunity
What is vacnation?
Assuming you mean 'vaccination' - it's an injection of a weak version of a virus. The virus triggers the immune system to produce antibodies - which stay in the bloodstream ready to fight the real virus, should the person get infected.
Is the injected vaccine for swine flu live?
No, in the US the injection forms of the vaccines are made from inactivated "dead" virus. The nasal spray vaccine contains weakened virus that can not make you get the flu but is called a Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV). There is a new form of injected vaccine for the flu in the 2011-2012 flu season in the US that is intradermal instead of the intramuscular route, it also contains inactivated virus particles. See the related question below.
What is the process of giving by mouth or injection a weakened virus that allows one to develop immunity against a disease?
Vaccination
What did Jonas Salk contribute to the study of genetics?
He proved that a "killed" virus could be successfully used as a vaccine. Other scientists at the time still believed that only a "live" virus injection would give a person immunity. However, using the "live" virus was, according to Salk, more dangerous, and this fact was proven when Dr. Sabin developed the "live" vaccine, the testing of which caused many deaths. Today, vaccines are produced using his "killed" virus methods.
