Boostrix Injection 0.5ml
How it Works:
Boostrix Injection works by introducing harmless components of the bacteria that cause tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis into the body. These components trigger the immune system to produce antibodies, which remain in the body and provide protection against future infections. In case of exposure to the actual bacteria, the antibodies quickly recognize and neutralize them, preventing the diseases from developing.
Side Effects:
– Pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site
– Fever
– Fatigue
– Headache
– Nausea
Indications:
Boostrix Injection is indicated for:
– Prevention of tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis in individuals aged 10 years and older.
Contraindications:
Boostrix Injection should not be administered to individuals who:
– Have had a severe allergic reaction to any component of the vaccine or after a previous dose of the vaccine.
– Experienced encephalopathy (a type of brain disorder) within 7 days of receiving a pertussis-containing vaccine.
