WHAT HEXYON IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Hexyon (DTaP-IPV-HB-Hib) is a vaccine used to protect against
infectious diseases.
Hexyon helps to protect against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis,
hepatitis B, poliomyelitis and serious
diseases caused by
_Haemophilus influenzae_
type b. Hexyon is given to children from six weeks of age.
The vaccine works by causing the body to produce its own protection
(antibodies) against the bacteria
and viruses that cause these different infections:
•
Diphtheria is an infectious disease that usually first affects the
throat. In the throat, the infection
causes pain and swelling that can lead to suffocation. The bacterium
that causes the disease also
makes a toxin (poison) that can damage the heart, kidneys, and nerves.
•
Tetanus (often called lock jaw) is usually caused by the tetanus
bacterium entering a deep
wound. The bacterium makes a toxin (poison) that causes spasms of the
muscles leading to
inability to breathe and the possibility of suffocation.
•
Pertussis (often called whooping cough) is a highly infectious illness
that affects t
