The most common type of flexible spending account, the medical expense FSA (also medical FSA or health FSA), is similar to a health savings account (HSA) or a health reimbursement account (HRA).
While some are still in the clinical trial stage, the following vaccines are currently available: Pediarix is a combination vaccine that combines the immunizations for Diphtheria, Tetanus and acellular Pertussis (DTaP), Hepatitis B and inactivated Polio (IPV), which used to require three separate shots. Pediarix is given to children as a three dose series at 2, 4, and 6 months. So instead of 9 shots for the series to get protection against Diptheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (Whooping Cough), Hepatitis B and Polio, you can now get the same protection for your kids in just 3 shots.
1 An adult vaccine against whooping cough, known as Boostrix, is available in New Zealand and is funded for pregnant women from 28 to 38 weeks gestation, until the current pertussis outbreak is over. 2  It is also recommended (but not funded) by the Ministry of Health for adults in close contact with newborns.
