PRIORIX 1 PRIORIX _Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine live _ NEW ZEALAND CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET This leaflet answers some of the common questions about PRIORIX 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 PRIORIX against the expected benefits. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT PRIORIX TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR, NURSE OR PHARMACIST. Keep this leaflet with this vaccine. You may need to read it again. WHAT PRIORIX IS USED FOR PRIORIX is a vaccine used to prevent three diseases, measles, mumps and rubella (German measles). The vaccine is sometimes called MMR vaccine. Measles, mumps and rubella are all infectious diseases caused by viruses. The vaccine works by causing the body to produce its own protection (antibodies) against these diseases. _MEASLES _ Measles is a highly infectious viral illness. Measles is spread by small droplets from the nose, throat or mouth of an infected person (often before it is obvious they have measles). Measles often begins with a fever, runny nose, hacking cough and conjunctivitis (eye inflammation). The rash appears 3-5 days after the onset of symptoms and spreads rapidly all over the body. Measles is often a severe disease complicated by ear infection and pneumonia (lung infection). Encephalitis (swelling of the brain) can also occur and can sometimes result in permanent brain damage or death. Unimmunised children in the following groups are at particular risk from severe measles infection: • children with chronic conditions such as cystic fibrosis, congenital heart or kidney disease, failure to thrive, Down's Syndrome • children from the age of 1 year upwards in child care centres, family day care and playgroups • children living in institutions _MUMPS _ Mumps is an infectious viral disease spread by infected droplets of saliva. Symptoms often begin wi Soma hati kamili
