Freeze-Dried Live Attenuated Hepatitis A Vaccine (Biovac-A)

Belongs to Category

How it Works:

Biovac-A is a freeze-dried live attenuated vaccine developed to provide immunization against the Hepatitis A virus. The vaccine functions by introducing a weakened form of the Hepatitis A virus into the body. This weakened virus stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies, preparing the body to defend against future encounters with the virus. Essentially, the vaccine triggers the body’s natural immune response without causing illness, thereby providing immunity to Hepatitis A.

  • Headache
  • Fatigue
  • Nausea

Indications:

  • Prevention of Hepatitis A infection
  • Recommended for individuals traveling to regions with high Hepatitis A prevalence

Contraindications:

  • Severe allergic reaction to previous dose of the vaccine or any of its components
  • Immune-compromised individuals
  • Pregnancy (unless the benefit outweighs the risk)
  • Acute febrile illness
