Biovac A Vaccine (Vaccination at Home)

What is the Biovac A Vaccine? 

Biovac A Vaccine is a live attenuated Hepatitis A vaccine that provides active immunization against infection caused by the Hepatitis A virus (HAV). Hepatitis A is usually transmitted through contaminated food or water and contact with an infected person. Although often self-limiting, the infection can cause significant liver inflammation, especially in adults. The vaccine contains weakened virus particles that stimulate the immune system to produce protective antibodies against HAV. It is essential to take the vaccine doses as per the doctor's advice for adequate protection against the disease.

Biovac A Vaccine is recommended for adults and children above 1 year of age. This vaccine is especially beneficial for those who are at high risk of infection, such as:
