Havrix 720 Junine Injection

Havrix 720 Junine Injection is an injection made by Glaxo Smithkline (vikor) that contains Hepatitis A Vaccine, an inactivated viral vaccine. It is used for prevention of hepatitis A.

Uses of Havrix 720 Junine Injection

Havrix 720 Junine Injection is used to protect children and adults against hepatitis A, a liver infection spread through contaminated food and water or close contact. It is recommended for travellers, people with chronic liver disease, and others at higher risk. A booster dose is usually needed to give long-lasting protection. It does not protect against hepatitis B, C or E.

How Havrix 720 Junine Injection works

The vaccine contains hepatitis A virus that has been killed, so it cannot cause infection. It trains the immune system to make antibodies against the virus, so if you are exposed later, your body can recognise and fight it off quickly.

Possible side effects

Reactions to Havrix 720 Junine Injection are usually mild and pass within a day or two. They can include:

• Soreness, redness or swelling where the injection was given
• Headache
• Tiredness
• Mild fever
• Loss of appetite
• Feeling irritable (in children)

Seek urgent help for difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or a widespread rash soon after vaccination.

Precautions and warnings

• Given by a healthcare professional according to the vaccination schedule.
• Tell the vaccinator if you have had an allergic reaction to a previous vaccine or any of its ingredients.
• Vaccination may be postponed if you have a high fever, but a minor cold is not usually a reason to delay.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, the vaccine is given only if the benefit outweighs any risk.
• Store in a refrigerator between 2 and 8°C.

Storage

Store as directed on the pack, protected from light. Injections should only be prepared and given by a doctor, nurse or other trained healthcare professional. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
