What is Havrix Junior?:
It is an inctivates Hepatitus A vaccine.
• The virus is not alive so this vaccine cannot cause hepatitis A infection. • When your child is given Havrix Junior Monodose their body will make antibodies (the body’s natural defence system) against the hepatitis A virus. • After 2 to 4 weeks, these antibodies will have been produced and will protect your child against hepatitis A infection. • To ensure long term protection, your child should receive a second (booster) vaccination 6 to 12 months after their first dose. As long as the booster is given within 3 years, they should still be fully protected. Once the booster vaccination is given, they are not expected to need an additional dose of Havrix. • Having this vaccine will only protect against hepatitis A and not against any other type of hepatitis virus or any other illness that can cause hepatitis (inflammation of the liver).
What is it used for?:
Havrix Junior Monodose is a vaccine containing the hepatitis A virus. It is used to boost the body’s immune system to help protect against hepatitis A infection in children and adolescents from 1 year up to and including 15 years of age.
