Typbar TCV Vaccine 0.5 ml

Typbar TCV Vaccine is a vaccine belonging to the group of immunising agents indicated for the active immunization for the prevention of typhoid. Typhoid is an abdominal bacterial infection caused by Salmonella typhi. It is characterised by stomach ache, headache, high fever, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, weakness, and vomiting.

Typbar TCV Vaccine contains Purified Vi Polysaccharide Typhoid Vaccine and Sodium chloride. Typbar TCV Vaccine works by stimulating the body to produce antibodies against the induced capsular component of the bacterium, thereby helping their body to mount an immune response and fight the diseases they have been vaccinated against, in the future. 

In some cases, Typbar TCV Vaccine may cause certain common side effects such as headache, fever, redness, pain, and inflammation at the injection site. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects consistently.

Before taking Typbar TCV Vaccine , inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant and nursing. Typbar TCV Vaccine may cause tiredness, so be cautious while driving. The safety and effectiveness of Typbar TCV Vaccine in children below 2years have not been established. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any interactions.

Typbar TCV Vaccine is a vaccine. It contains Purified Vi Polysaccharide Typhoid Vaccine and Sodium chloride. It is used to prevent typhoid disease. Typbar TCV Vaccine induces a non-toxic and safe form of the causative bacteria’s capsular specimen into the body, which stimulates their body to produce antibodies and provides immunity. This immune response is remembered by the body, helping it stay prepared in case of a future invasion by these bacteria.

Before taking Typbar TCV Vaccine , inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of its components. Keep the doctor informed if you have any immunocompromised states and metabolic diseases such as HIV, cancer, hypo/agammaglobulinaemia or any chronic disorders. Avoid using Typbar TCV Vaccine in case of a severe infection or very high fever/temperature. Inform your doctor of any immunosuppressant medicines, alkylating agents, antimetabolites, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or any other herbs or vitamins you may be on. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant and nursing.

• If your child is severely ill, it is best to wait before vaccination. 
• It is important to keep your child hydrated post-vaccination. Make sure to give them plenty of water. 
• In case of fever, consult your doctor before treating with any OTC medication.
• Make your child’s personal hygiene a top priority. Keeping their hands clean and washing them with soap and water regularly is important in preventing infection. Opt for traditional hand washing over sanitisers.
• Avoid unclean water. Make sure the water is clean. 
• Ensure you avoid raw fruits and vegetables in your child’s diet as these are breeding grounds for the bacterium. Also, avoid foods served at room temperatures and prefer hot foods.

• Please inform the doctor immediately if you notice any anaphylaxis (allergy, skin changes, difficulty in breathing, anxiety, confusion, dizziness etc) post-injection.
• To preclude any harm due to fainting (which may be seen rarely), procedures to prevent falling and to prevent any injuries due to falls, should be in place.
• If the vaccine was frozen by accident, discard it.
• If you experience any of these, consult a doctor immediately: a high fever within 2 days post-vaccination, a shock-like state within 2 days of vaccination- persistent crying lasting 3 hours or more within 2 days of vaccination - fits with or without fever within 3 days of vaccination.

Typhoid: Typhoid is a bacterial disease caused by Salmonella typhi. It is characterised by stomach ache, headache, high fever, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, weakness, and vomiting. Typhoid mostly occurs through contaminated food and water. It is difficult to diagnose as it shows up very late in blood tests and urine/stool cultures. If neglected, it can lead to complications such as brain fever, kidney and bladder infections, pneumonia, pancreatitis et cetera.
