Diphtheria Toxoid, Tetanus Toxoid, Pertussis Toxoid, Filamentous Haemagglutinin, Poliomyelitis Virus Type 1, Poliomyelitis Virus Type 2, Poliomyelitis virus type 3

Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Haemophilus Influenzae Type b (Hib) and Poliomyelitis Vaccine is a combination medication that provides protection against various infectious diseases. It contains toxoids from Diphtheria and Tetanus bacteria, a toxoid from Pertussis (whooping cough) bacteria, and inactivated viruses of the three types of Poliomyelitis (polio). Additionally, it includes the Haemophilus Influenzae Type b conjugate vaccine, which protects against Hib, a bacterium that can cause severe infections, especially in young children.
This vaccine is used to immunize individuals against these diseases, helping to build immunity and prevent infections. The Diphtheria toxoid component protects against Diphtheria, a bacterial infection that can cause severe respiratory illness and potentially be fatal. The Tetanus toxoid component protects against Tetanus, also known as “lockjaw,” a severe bacterial infection that can lead to muscle stiffness, spasms, and potentially life-threatening complications.
The Pertussis toxoid component protects against Pertussis, a highly contagious respiratory illness characterized by severe coughing episodes, often leading to complications such as pneumonia or dehydration, particularly in infants and young children. The Haemophilus Influenzae Type b conjugate vaccine component shields against Hib infections, which can lead to pneumonia, meningitis, and other life-threatening complications.
Finally, the Poliomyelitis viruses help to immunize against the three types of Poliomyelitis, which can cause paralysis and respiratory failure. By receiving this vaccine, individuals can develop immunity to these diseases, reducing the risk of severe illness and complications.
Follow the recommended immunization schedule for this vaccine, as advised by healthcare professionals, to ensure optimal protection against these infectious diseases.
