Hepatitis A Vaccine

Product Description

Havarix is a vaccine used to help prevent Hepatitis A infection.

Hepatitis A is an infection caused by a virus which is usually transmitted in unclean food or drink. It may also be transmitted by sharing needles and some sexual practices.

The vaccine contains inactivated virus and is injected into the body. The body then produces its own protection by making disease-fighting substances (antibodies) to fight the virus. The vaccine cannot cause the infection. If a vaccinated person comes into contact with live virus the body is usually ready to destroy it. However, as with all vaccines, 100% protection against hepatitis A cannot be guaranteed. Avaxim will not protect against hepatitis caused by other agents or viruses (such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or hepatitis E).

Effective Prevention Against Hepatitis A

This vaccine offers essential protection against hepatitis A-a highly contagious viral infection. Transmission typically occurs via unclean food or water. Immunization not only minimizes individual risk but also helps curb wider community outbreaks. It is recommended to consult your physician to understand the most appropriate vaccination schedule for your needs.


Handling and Storage Guidelines

Maintaining the vaccine's effectiveness necessitates proper storage; always keep it in a cool environment as directed. Adhering to the required storage conditions ensures the vaccine retains its protective properties from the manufacturer to administration. Healthcare providers and suppliers across India strictly follow these guidelines.
