Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a method for preparing a vaccine composition comprising at least aluminum oxyhydroxide (AlOOH), and at least the hepatitis B surface antigen and the Haemophilus influenzae type b antigen. According to the invention, the hepatitis B surface antigen is kept adsorbed on the AlOOH, whereas the Hib antigen is kept nonadsorbed. To this end: the hepatitis B surface antigen is adsorbed onto AlOOH in order to obtain an AlOOH/HBsAg complex, then—said AlOOH/HBsAg complex is mixed with the Hib antigen in the presence of cationic amino acids at a concentration of at least 100 mg/l, and of phosphate ions at a concentration of 35 to 45 mMol/l.

Abstract: A vaccine composition comprising two valences is provided: (i) a first valence which is adjuvant-enhanced with aluminum hydroxide and (ii) a second valence which contains a polysaccharide of bacterial capsule comprising one or more o-acetyl groups and which is not adsorbed with aluminum oxide due to the presence of a protecting compound which may be a phosphate, a citrate or a carbonate and which prevents the adsorption. The first valence can be any vaccine valence. In one particular embodiment, the vaccine composition contains (i) Hepatitis A valence, adsorbed on aluminum hydroxide and (ii) the typhoid fever valence formed by the polysaccharide Vi of the Salmonella typhi capsule.

Abstract: The invention concerns the stabilization of a vaccine composition maintained in liquid state by the use of high molecular weight polyvinylpyrrolidone, hence eliminating the use of albumen. The invention is of particular interest for vaccine compositions comprising attenuated live viruses such as oral vaccine against poliomyelitis.

Abstract: The invention concerns a vaccine composition comprising two valences; (i) a first valence which is adjuvant-enhanced with aluminium hydroxide and (ii) a second valence which contains a polysaccharide of bacterial capsule comprising one or more —O— acetyl groups and which is not adsorbed with aluminium oxide due to the presence of a protecting compound which may be a phosphate, a citrate or a carbonate and which prevents said adsorptiuon. The first valence can be any vaccine valence. In one particular embodiment, the vaccine composition contains (i) the Hepatite A valence, adsorbed on aluminium hydroxide and (ii) the typhoid fever valence formed by the polysaccharide Vi of the Salmonella typhi capsule.
