INFANRIX HEXA ONE DOSE SYRINGE: Powerful Protection in a Single Dose
Give your baby the best start with INFANRIX HEXA, a comprehensive vaccine that comes ready in a one-dose syringe. This hexavalent vaccine actively protects infants from six serious diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), hepatitis B, poliomyelitis (polio), and infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib).
Why is INFANRIX HEXA Important?
INFANRIX HEXA works by helping your baby’s body build its own defense against these diseases. When your child receives the vaccine, their immune system recognizes the weakened or inactive parts of the germs. This recognition triggers the production of protective antibodies. These antibodies will then fight off the real diseases if your child ever comes into contact with them. Vaccination with INFANRIX HEXA is a safe and effective way to protect your child’s health.
What’s Inside Each Dose?
Each single dose of INFANRIX HEXA contains specific ingredients, called antigens, that teach your baby’s immune system how to fight each of the six diseases:
- Diphtheria Toxoid: This helps prevent the dangerous effects of diphtheria.
- Tetanus Toxoid: This provides protection against tetanus.
- Pertussis Antigens: This acellular vaccine contains key parts of the whooping cough bacteria to prevent this highly contagious illness.
- Hepatitis B Surface Antigen: This ingredient protects against the hepatitis B virus, which can seriously harm the liver.
- Inactivated Poliovirus: This safe form of the polio virus prevents the crippling disease of poliomyelitis.
- Haemophilus influenzae type b Polysaccharide: This, combined with tetanus toxoid, protects against serious Hib infections.
Easy to Use and Administer
INFANRIX HEXA is formulated as a powder and liquid that mix together for injection, all contained within a convenient pre-filled syringe. The components for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, and poliomyelitis are in a white, cloudy liquid. The Hib component is a white powder that your healthcare provider will mix with the liquid before giving the injection. This one-dose syringe ensures the correct amount of vaccine every time, making it easier for healthcare professionals to administer.
How and When is it Given?
Doctors and nurses give INFANRIX HEXA as a shot into a muscle. The typical vaccination schedule involves a few primary doses during your baby’s first months, followed by booster doses later on. The exact timing of these doses will follow the recommended guidelines in your area. Always speak with your child’s doctor to understand the best vaccination schedule for them.
