WHAT PREVENAR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Prevenar is a pneumococcal vaccine. Prevenar is given to children from
2 months to 5 years to help protect
against diseases such as: meningitis, sepsis or bacteraemia (bacteria
in blood stream), pneumonia and ear
infection caused by seven types of the bacteria _Streptococcus
pneumoniae._
The vaccine works by helping the body to make its own antibodies,
which protect your child against
these diseases.
2.
BEFORE YOUR CHILD RECEIVES PREVENAR
DO NOT USE PREVENAR:
-
if your child is allergic (hypersensitive) to the active substances,
to any other ingredients or to
diphtheria toxoid.
-
if your child has a severe infection with a high temperature (over
38°C). If this applies to your child,
then the vaccination will be postponed until your child is feeling
better. A minor infection, such as a
cold, should not be a problem. However, talk to your doctor,
pharmacist, or nurse first.
TAKE SPECIAL CARE WITH PREVENAR:
-
if your child has any present or past medical problems after any dose
of Prevenar.
-
if your child has any bleeding problems.
Prevenar will only protect against ear infections caused by the types
of _Streptococcus pneumoniae_ for
which the vaccine has been developed. It will not protect against
other infectious agents that can cause
ear infect
