Read the detailed description

The study will be conducted at Kaiser Permanente Northern California and will commence with first use of licensed PENTACEL® vaccine within that organization.

Vaccination databases will be reviewed to identify Diphtheria and tetanus toxoid with acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccinations of accrued subjects. Medical encounter, emergency room, hospitalization, laboratory, state death reporting, and related databases will be reviewed to identify medical care events.
