Tetanus Vaccine is a 5 in 1 vaccine given to infants and young children. It provides active immunization against five severe diseases namely Diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae type b, Hepatitis-B, Pertussis, and Tetanus. It boosts the immune system and produces protective antibodies against these diseases.

 Vaccine is to be administered by your child’s doctor only. It is injected into the thigh muscles of infants. In older children, the vaccine is administered into the arm muscle. It is administered in 3 doses, each 4 weeks apart, preferably before the age of 6 months. Generally, it is recommended to administer the 1st dose at 6 weeks of age, the 2nd dose at 10 weeks of age, and the 3rd dose at 14 weeks of age. If a child has not received the 1st dose by the age of his initial year, start vaccination as soon as possible and consult your child’s doctor for the schedule.

 Vaccine can cause some minor and temporary side effects such as fever, irritation, loss of appetite, injection site reaction (pain, swelling, redness), and skin rash. However, these episodes do not last very long and subside on their own. If worrisome, do seek the doctor's help.

Talk to your child’s doctor before vaccination if your child has a history of liver problems, kidney problems, blood disorders, birth defects, heart problems, lung problems, severe pain or swelling of the limbs, or Guillain-Barré syndrome. Also, let your doctor know if your child has or had any severe allergic reactions to any medicine. You should also consult your doctor if your child has ever been in a coma or has had brain or nervous system problems like seizures before scheduling a vaccination appointment. This information is important for the doctor to prepare a corresponding vaccination schedule.

Rabies is a 100% vaccine-preventable disease and the implementation of vaccination campaigns in reservoir species are a key part of any rabies control programme. Current veterinary vaccine campaigns are largely focused on canine reservoirs, requiring vaccine coverage of more than 70% of the dog population to prevent rabies transmission. However, vaccines have also been developed and used in other domestic mammals and wildlife species.

Inactivated rabies vaccines are widely available for parenteral vaccination of dogs and have repeatedly been shown to result in a robust immune response in >95% of dogs. Modified live-virus vaccines had been widely used for parenteral use, but are now discouraged as several of these products have been documented to induce rabies. Nerve tissue vaccines are less immunogenic and have more severe adverse events, and as such both WHO and OIE strongly recommend discontinuation of nerve tissue vaccines and recommend their replacement with modern cell culture vaccines.

Uses

BCG vaccine is recommended for:

• Infants and young children: In countries with high rates of TB, BCG vaccination is often given to infants and young children to protect them from severe forms of TB, such as TB meningitis and miliary TB.
• Adults at high risk: Adults who are at high risk of TB infection, such as healthcare workers, laboratory personnel, and individuals with weakened immune systems, may also be vaccinated.

Benefits of Product

• Prevents severe forms of TB: BCG vaccine is highly effective in preventing severe forms of TB, particularly in children.
• Reduces TB mortality: By preventing severe TB, BCG vaccination helps reduce TB-related deaths.

Side Effects of Product

Side effects of BCG vaccine are usually mild and may include:

How it Works

The BCG vaccine contains a weakened form of the Mycobacterium bovis bacteria, which is similar to the bacteria that cause TB. When injected, the weakened bacteria stimulate the body's immune system to produce antibodies against TB. These antibodies provide protection against the disease.

Safety Advice

It is important to tell your doctor about any medical conditions you have, including allergies, before getting the BCG vaccine. You should also tell your doctor if you have ever had a serious reaction to a vaccine.

Most people can safely receive the BCG vaccine. However, there are some people who should not get the vaccine, including:

Product Introduction

The bivalent oral polio vaccine (bOPV) is a live, attenuated vaccine that protects against poliovirus types 1 and 3. It is an important tool in the global effort to eradicate polio.

Uses

bOPV is used in routine immunization programs in many countries to protect children from polio. It is typically administered orally in multiple doses.

Benefits

• Effective Protection: bOPV is highly effective in preventing poliovirus types 1 and 3.
• Easy Administration: It is administered orally, making it convenient for mass vaccination campaigns.
• Herd Immunity: Widespread vaccination with bOPV helps to create herd immunity, protecting even those who cannot be vaccinated.

Side Effects

Side effects of bOPV are generally mild and may include:

• Mild fever
• Irritability
• Temporary gastrointestinal symptoms

In rare cases, a weakened form of the virus in the vaccine can revert to a form that can cause polio. This is known as vaccine-associated paralytic polio (VAPP), but it is extremely rare.

How it Works

When bOPV is administered orally, the live, attenuated viruses in the vaccine replicate in the intestines, stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against polioviruses. These antibodies provide long-lasting protection against the disease.

Safety Advice

• It is important to follow the recommended immunization schedule to ensure optimal protection. 
• While bOPV is generally safe, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before vaccination, especially if the individual has a weakened immune system.
• In some cases, inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) may be used instead of bOPV, particularly in areas where VAPP is a concern.

Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Conjugated Vaccine

Product Introduction

Pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine (PPSCV) is a type of vaccine that helps protect against pneumococcal bacteria, which can cause serious infections like pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis. It is a conjugated vaccine, meaning it combines a polysaccharide (a type of sugar molecule) with a protein to help the immune system recognize and fight the bacteria.

Uses

PPSCV is recommended for adults who are at high risk of pneumococcal disease, including:

• Adults aged 65 years and older
• Adults aged 19-64 with certain medical conditions that weaken the immune system, such as:
  • Chronic lung disease (including asthma)
  • Chronic heart disease
  • Diabetes
  • Chronic liver disease
  • Alcoholism
  • Smoking
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Cancer
  • Splenectomy (removal of the spleen)
  • Taking medications that suppress the immune system (such as chemotherapy, steroids, or certain medications for organ transplants)

Benefits of Product

PPSCV is a safe and effective vaccine that can help protect adults from pneumococcal disease. It is especially important for adults who are at high risk of serious complications from pneumococcal infection.

Side Effects of Product

Side effects of PPSCV are usually mild and go away on their own. They may include:

• Pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site
• Fatigue
• Headache
• Muscle aches
• Fever

In rare cases, more serious side effects can occur, such as:

• Allergic reactions
• Seizures
• Guillain-Barré syndrome (a rare neurological disorder)

How to Use

PPSCV is given as a single injection. It is important to get the vaccine from a healthcare professional who can answer any questions you may have.

How it Works

PPSCV works by helping the immune system recognize and fight pneumococcal bacteria. The polysaccharide part of the vaccine is similar to the sugar molecules on the surface of the bacteria. When the vaccine is injected, the immune system creates antibodies that attach to the polysaccharide. These antibodies help the immune system identify and destroy the bacteria.

Safety Advice

It is important to tell your doctor about any medical conditions you have, including allergies, before getting PPSCV. You should also tell your doctor if you have ever had a serious reaction to a vaccine.

Most people can safely receive PPSCV. However, there are some people who should not get the vaccine, including:

• People who have had a severe allergic reaction to a previous dose of PPSCV or any of its ingredients
• People who are currently sick with a moderate or severe illness

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor about whether or not you should get PPSCV.
