WHAT FENDRIX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Fendrix is a vaccine which prevents hepatitis B.
It is used for patients with kidney problems:
•
patients having “haemo-dialysis”- where a “dialysis” machine
removes waste products from the
blood
•
patients who are going to have “haemo-dialysis” in the future.
Fendrix is for adults and young people aged 15 years and above.
WHAT IS HEPATITIS B?
Hepatitis B is caused by a virus which makes the liver swollen.
•
Signs may not be seen for 6 weeks to 6 months after infection.
•
The main signs of the illness include mild signs of flu such as
headache or fever, feeling very
tired, dark urine, pale stools (faeces), yellow skin or eyes
(jaundice). These or other signs may
mean the person might need treatment in hospital. Most people fully
recover from the illness.
•
Some people with hepatitis B do not look or feel ill - they do not
have any signs of illness.
•
The virus is found in body fluids such as in the vagina, blood, semen,
or saliva (spit).
CARRIERS OF HEPATITIS B
•
The hepatitis B virus stays in the body of some people all through
their lives.
•
This means they can still infect other people and are k

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
PRIMARY IMMUNISATION:
The primary immunisation consists of 4 separate 0.5 ml doses
administered at the following schedule:
1 month, 2 months and 6 months from the date of the first dose.
Once initiated, the primary course of vaccination at 0, 1, 2 and 6
months should be completed with
Fendrix, and not with other commercially available HBV vaccine.
BOOSTER DOSE:
As pre-haemodialysis and haemodialysis patients are particularly
exposed to HBV and have a higher
risk to become chronically infected, a precautionary attitude should
be considered i.e. giving a booster
dose in order to ensure a protective antibody level as defined by
national recommendations and
guidelines.
3
Fendrix can be used as a booster dose after a primary vaccination
course with either Fendrix or any
other commercial recombinant hepatitis B vaccine.
SPECIAL POSOLOGY RECOMMENDATION FOR KNOWN OR PRESUMED EXPOSURE TO HBV:
Data on concomitant a
