Follow on Google News | Combination Vaccine Products Lead Pediatric Vaccine Sales, says Kalorama Information ReportIn 2009, combination vaccines generated $2.3 billion in revenues, up 24.7% from 2008 sales of $1.8 billion. Growth was fueled both by rising utilization and price increases.

Today, combination vaccines protect against up to seven diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, hepatitis B, varicella and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), which is associated with meningitis. Through 2014, sales growth of DTP and DTaP vaccines will slow on increasing preference for vaccines that protect against these and other diseases.
