For those who wish to receive the Hib vaccine ~Indispensable information for vaccination. Please be sure to read it. ~
1. Bacterial meningitis and Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b) in infants
① Only those who wish to receive the Hib vaccine can receive it at their own expense.
② You can receive the vaccination if you are 2 months old or older. The recommended vaccination schedule is 4 doses, starting from 2 months to 7 months of age as the primary immunization, 3 doses at 4-8 week intervals, and 1 dose approximately 1 year after the 3rd dose as a booster dose. inoculate.
(3) The Hib vaccine is highly effective in preventing Hib infection, as almost 100% of those who have received four doses of the vaccine develop antibodies (immunity).
④ After receiving the Hib vaccine, side effects similar to those seen with other vaccines are observed, but they are usually temporary and disappear within a few days. The most common symptoms are redness and swelling at the injection site. In addition, fever occurs in a few percent of those who have been inoculated. As a serious side reaction, although it is very rare, the following side reactions have been reported overseas. (1) Shock/anaphylactoid symptoms (hives, dyspnea, etc.),
(2) convulsion (including febrile convulsion), (3) thrombocytopenic purpura.
⑤ This vaccine uses bovine ingredients (French bovine liver and lung-derived ingredients, European bovine milk-derived ingredients, American bovine blood and heart-derived ingredients) at the initial stage of manufacturing, but then After going through the purification process, it is commercialized. In addition, this vaccine is already used in more than 100 countries around the world, and about 150 million doses have been administered in the 14 years since its launch. There have been no reports of anyone getting it. Therefore, although the theoretical risk cannot be denied, the risk of contracting TSE is considered to be negligible in those who have been vaccinated with this vaccine.
