CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION LEAFLET
In this leaflet, HAVRIX refers to
the use of both HAVRIX 1440
for adults, and HAVRIX Junior
for children.
WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET
This leaflet answers some of
the common questions about
HAVRIX vaccine. It does not
contain all the available
information. It does not take
the place of talking to your
doctor, nurse or pharmacist.
All medicines and vaccines
have risks and benefits. Your
doctor has weighed the
possible risks of you or your
child having HAVRIX against
the expected benefits.
IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS
ABOUT HAVRIX TALK TO YOUR
DOCTOR, NURSE OR PHARMACIST.
KEEP THIS LEAFLET WITH THIS
VACCINE. You may need to
read it again.
WHAT IS HAVRIX USED FOR
HAVRIX is a vaccine used to
prevent hepatitis A infection.
The vaccine works by causing
the body to produce its own
protection (antibodies) against
this disease.
Hepatitis A is an infectious
disease, which can affect the
liver. This disease is caused by
the hepatitis A virus.
The hepatitis A virus can be
passed from person to person in
food and drink, or by swimming in
water contaminated by sewage.
Symptoms of hepatitis A begin 3 to
6 weeks after coming into contact
with the virus. These consist of
nausea (feeling sick), fever and
aches and pains. After a few days
the whites of eyes and skin may
become yellowish (jaundice). The
severity and type of symptoms can
vary. Young children may not
develop jaundice. Most people
recover completely but the illness
is usually severe enough to keep
people off work for about a month.
Hepatitis A is very common in
many parts of the world, and the
risk of infection is greatest in those
areas where hygiene and
sanitation are poor. Such areas
include Asia, India, Africa, Central
and South America, the Pacific
Islands, the Middle East, and the
Mediterranean basin. HAVRIX is
recommended for all travellers to
these areas, including people in
the armed forces.
Hepatitis A occurs in Australia, but
is not common. Some groups of

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
HAVRIX, hepatitis A vaccine, is a sterile suspension containing
formaldehyde - inactivated
hepatitis A virus (HM 175 hepatitis A virus strain) adsorbed onto
aluminium hydroxide
hydrate.
The virus is propagated in MRC5 human diploid cells. Before viral
extraction, the cells are
extensively washed to remove culture medium constituents. A virus
suspension is then
obtained by lysis of the cells followed by purification using
ultrafiltration techniques and gel
chromatography. The virus is then inactivated with formalin. Residual
formaldehyde in the
vaccine should be not more than 0.01%.
