Pentavac PFS Vaccine belongs to the group of medicines called 'immunizing agents' primarily used to prevent Diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae type B, Hepatitis B, Pertussis, and Tetanus in infants aged 6 weeks to children aged 6 years. Diphtheria is a serious bacterial infection that affects the nose and throat, leading to difficulty breathing, heart failure, paralysis, and death. Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) is a life-threatening bacterial infection that mainly affects children under 5 years of age. Hepatitis B is a severe viral infection affecting the liver. Pertussis (whooping cough) is a respiratory tract infection caused by bacteria. Tetanus (lockjaw) is caused by bacteria that enter the body through deep cuts, wounds, or burns and affect the nervous system.
Pentavac PFS Vaccine contains a combination of five ingredients: Diphtheria toxoid, Haemophilus B conjugate vaccine, Hepatitis B vaccine, Pertussis toxoid, and Tetanus toxoid. It works by introducing a weakened or inactivated form of the disease-causing agent into the body, stimulating the immune system to develop antibodies and antitoxins to fight against the specific disease. Thus, it effectively provides immunity or resistance against these infections without actually triggering the illness.
A healthcare professional will administer Pentavac PFS Vaccine to your child in a medical setting. Your child may experience mild side effects, such as vomiting, fever, persistent crying, swelling, redness, pain, and tenderness at the injection site. Most of these side effects will only last for a few days and resolve on their own. If you notice any persistent and unmanageable side effects in your child, please consult your doctor.
Pentavac PFS Vaccine should not be given if your child is allergic to any of its ingredients or similar vaccines. Let your doctor know about any medications that your child is currently taking, as well as their vaccination history and any medical conditions, to rule out potential side effects or interactions. Pentavac PFS Vaccine is not recommended for use in children older than 6 years, adults, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or individuals with active infections. Additionally, it should not be given to children with a neurological disorder that is worsening, or those with a family history of brain and nervous system problems, including seizures.
