Background Despite universal recommendation of the 3 + 1 diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTaP) vaccine series in infants and toddlers, adherence (i.e. coverage and timeliness) remain suboptimal in the US. DTaP-containing combination vaccines are presumed to improve vaccine coverage rates and timeliness, but research on this topic is limited. The purpose of this study was to compare adherence to the recommended infant-toddler vaccination series between recipients of DTaP-containing combination vaccines (i.e. quadrivalent/pentavalent) and stand-alone vaccines (i.e. trivalent). Methods We used the Optum de-identified Clinformatics Data Mart database to create a cohort of children born between 2009 and 2016 with &amp;gt; 24 months of continuous enrollment from birth, and records of &amp;gt; 1 DTaP vaccine receipt. Patients were classified by DTaP-containing vaccine receipt: combination vaccines only, stand-alone vaccines only, or a mixture of both. The primary adherence outcome was completion of the 4-dose series within 20 months of life. We adjusted outcomes for gender, birth year, race, and socioeconomic status via a logistic regression model. Results The cohort contained 200,568 female (48.6%) and 211,882 male (51.4%) children. Of these children, 167,091 received combination vaccines only (40.5%), 61,342 received stand-alone vaccines only (14.9%), and 184,017 received a mixture of both (44.6%). Completion of the 4-dose series was highest among children who received combination vaccines only (75.5%), followed by those who received a mixture of vaccines (72.7%) and those who received stand-alone vaccines only (54.5%). Relative to those who received stand-alone vaccines only, adjusted odds of completion were approximately 2.9 times higher among combination vaccine recipients (odds ratio, OR = 2.93 [95% CI: 2.87, 2.98]) and 2.5 times higher among those who received a mixture of vaccines (OR = 2.54 [2.49, 2.59]). Conclusion DTaP-containing combination vaccine use was associated with significantly greater adherence. Although these results warrant further investigation to better understand the determinants of infant vaccination adherence, such evidence may further support preferential recommendations for combination vaccine use.
