Havrix 720 Junior Monodose Vaccine 0.5 ml

Question 1

How does Havrix 720 Junior Monodose Vaccine 0.5 ml work?

Accepted Answer

Havrix 720 Junior Monodose Vaccine 0.5 ml contains Hepatitis A antigen virus (Inactivated). It aids in the development of immunity by producing antibodies, which are proteins that protect against infection induced by viruses in the vaccine. For long-term protection, a booster dose must be taken at the discretion of the doctor.

Question 2

What precautions should I take after taking Havrix 720 Junior Monodose Vaccine 0.5 ml?

Accepted Answer

Taking live vaccines such as MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) and varicella (chickenpox) vaccines within 3 months of taking Havrix 720 Junior Monodose Vaccine 0.5 ml is not recommended. Havrix 720 Junior Monodose Vaccine 0.5 ml may alter the action of these vaccines, making them less effective.

Question 3

What is the difference between hepatitis A vaccine and hepatitis A immunoglobulin?

Accepted Answer

The hepatitis A vaccine stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against the hepatitis A virus (HAV) and provides long-term protection against the virus. On the other hand, hepatitis A immunoglobulin contains antibodies that act against HAV and is given when immediate protection against the virus is needed.

Question 4

What is the difference between hepatitis A, B and C?

Accepted Answer

Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C are three different viruses that cause severe liver infection. Though each virus of hepatitis can cause similar symptoms, they are spread in different ways and can affect the liver differently. Hepatitis A causes short-term infection. While Hepatitis B and C can begin with short-term infections, in some cases, can cause chronic or lifelong infections. There are vaccines to prevent hepatitis A and hepatitis B, but no vaccine is available for hepatitis C.

Question 5

What exactly are inactivated vaccines?

Accepted Answer

Inactivated vaccinations are another type of vaccine in which the virus is inactivated during manufacturing.
