REPEVAX jab- dtap-polio- ANY INFO?

[Angeliz]

Hello all.
After discovering that dd,3.7, needs nearly all her boosters ,(we checked her for antibodies-immunity) i have now only just discovered that they are giving a 4 in 1 called repevax. (I assumed she'd get Infanrix which she had as a baby).
SO, i've looked it up and not found a great deal about it but wondered,

Have your kids had it?
Any bad side effects?
Is it a new jab?
Is Infanrix still available?

I did ask the HV about Infanrix and she said i'd have real trouble getting it!!

My dd is due to have this (she's 4). Yes, it's new. It's the one that contains inactive polio in it and the acellular pertussis vaccine (like Infanrix) and it was developed so that it didn't contain thiomersal.

in fact, it is almost exactly the same as infanrix but with the addition of the inactive polio and made by a different manufacturer.
