WHAT INFANRIX HEXA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Infanrix hexa is a vaccine used to protect your child against six
diseases:
•
DIPHTHERIA:
a serious bacterial infection that mainly affects the airways and
sometimes the skin. The
airways become swollen causing serious breathing problems and
sometimes suffocation. The
bacteria also release a poison. This can cause nerve damage, heart
problems, and even death.
•
TETANUS
: tetanus bacteria enter the body through cuts, scratches or wounds in
the skin. Wounds that
are more likely to get tetanus infection are burns, fractures, deep
wounds or wounds that have soil,
dust, horse manure or wood splinters in them. The bacteria release a
poison. This can cause muscle
stiffness, painful muscle spasms, fits and even death. The muscle
spasms can be strong enough to
cause bone fractures of the spine.
•
WHOOPING COUGH (PERTUSSIS)
: a highly infectious illness that affects
