WHAT IS VAXELIS
AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Vaxelis is a vaccine,
which helps
to protect your child against
diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis
B, poliomyelitis and serious diseases caused by
Haemophilus influenzae
type b. Vaxelis is given to
children
from the
age of six weeks.
The vaccine works by causing the body to produce its own protection
(antibodies)
against the bacteria
and viruses that cause the
following diseases
:
•
Diphtheria:
a bacterial infection
that usually first affects the throat
, causing
pain and swelling
which can lead to suffocation. The bacteria also make a toxin (poison)
that can damage the
heart, kidneys and nerves.
•
Tetanus (often called lock jaw)
:
caused by the tetanus bacteria entering a deep wound.
The
bacteria make a toxin (poiso
n) that causes spasms of the muscles, leading to inability to breathe
and the possibility of suffocation.
•
Pertussis (often called whooping cough)
:
a highly infectious illness that affects the airways. It
causes
