Medicine does not stand still and is developing intensively, but its main condition today, like many years ago, is
vaccination. This is a very effective measure that is used to prevent infections. Different countries have their own
vaccination needs
. The true salvation for Russia was the Infanrix vaccine. The opinion of a medical specialist indicates that the best protection against tetanus, whooping cough, diphtheria cannot be found. Many parents were able to evaluate its preventive effect.
Infanrix vaccine: what is it?
As you know, a child up to a year needs to get 14 vaccinations. This amount can be reduced due to complex vaccinations that protect against several diseases at once. It is to such vaccines that Infanrix belongs. The review left by one of the mothers suggests that no reaction occurs after such a vaccination. This is due to the fact that Infanrix Hexa contains a cell-free (purified) pertussis component. At the same time, vaccines produced in Russia include a living virus. This is a multicomponent drug. It protects immediately from 6 common viruses: pertussis, poliomyelitis, tetanus, diphtheria, hepatitis B, hemophilic infection.
Possible complications after vaccination
More and more parents are giving their preference to the Infanrix vaccine. Feedback from manufacturers about it inspires confidence. Many experts and parents argue that, compared to the notorious
“DTP”, the new vaccine causes fewer side effects. And in many cases it does not cause them at all. So, what are the consequences of vaccination with this drug?
- The temperature rises to 38 degrees. However, this does not always happen.
- Irritability and scream after vaccination. But they pass quickly. A child cries after any injection, and Infanrix vaccination is no exception.
- Swelling and redness, but they are expressed rather weakly.
- Allergic rashes in the form of itching or rash are very rare.
Contraindications to vaccination
Like any other vaccination, this is also not recommended if:
- your child did not tolerate previous vaccinations, cramps, fever, prolonged cry were observed;
- the baby has an increased sensitivity to one of the components of the drug;
- the child is unwell, by the way, all vaccinations are recommended when the baby is absolutely healthy.
Purchase Features
The Infanrix vaccine (a review about which any parent is replete with grateful words and advice to choose exactly her) is quite expensive. The fact is that it is not included in the list of compulsory vaccinations that a child should receive up to a year. It is made at the request of the parents. Therefore, you will have to buy it yourself at any pharmacy.
A good alternative to DTP was the Infanrix vaccine. The price of it is 759 rubles. But be prepared for the fact that in a regular district clinic it may not be possible.
When choosing a drug for vaccination, pay attention to the country of origin. Specialists in the field of medicine claim that the product made in Belgium has fewer side effects than, for example, the same drug from France.
Whether or not to be vaccinated is your choice. But if you decide on vaccination, then it is worth choosing the best option.
