Hexaxim Vaccine

Hexaxim Vaccine is given as an intramuscular injection by a trained nurse or a doctor. It is important to receive all required doses at the correct intervals to build strong and lasting immunity. Keeping vaccination appointments, informing the doctor of any previous reactions to vaccines, and monitoring the child after each dose help ensure maximum protection.

Some children may experience mild side effects after the injection, such as redness, swelling, or pain at the injection site, low-grade fever, irritability, or temporary loss of appetite. These reactions usually settle on their own within a day or two. If the fever is high or the child remains unusually fussy, a doctor-recommended fever medicine may be used. Parents should seek medical advice if symptoms persist, worsen, or if the child shows any unusual behavior.

Hexaxim Vaccine should not be given to children who have had a severe allergic reaction to a previous dose of this vaccine or to any of its ingredients. It should also be avoided in children who are experiencing high fever or severe illness on the day of vaccination, and the dose can be postponed until they recover. Parents should inform the doctor if their child has a history of seizures, neurological conditions, or immune system disorders, as additional monitoring may be needed.

• Hexaxim Vaccine helps protect your child from six serious diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B, polio, and Hib infections.
• Inform the doctor if your child has a fever, is unwell, or has had any unusual reactions after previous vaccines. The doctor may decide to delay or check carefully before giving the next dose.
• Mild fever or fussiness after the injection is common. You may give paracetamol only if your doctor recommends it. Do not give pain or fever medicines before the injection unless advised by a doctor.
• After the vaccine, stay at the clinic for a short time. Some children may feel faint or dizzy immediately after injections, and it is safer for them to be observed.
• For the best protection, make sure your child receives all the doses of the vaccine on time. Missing doses can reduce how well the vaccine works.
