How Revac Products work
Hepatitis B Vaccine (rDNA) + Aluminium Hydroxide + Thiomersal is a combination of two vaccines: Hepatitis B Vaccine (rDNA) + Aluminium Hydroxide + Thiomersal1 and Hepatitis B Vaccine (rDNA) + Aluminium Hydroxide + Thiomersal2 which prevent Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis B Vaccine (rDNA) + Aluminium Hydroxide + Thiomersal3 as the preservative. Hepatitis B Vaccine (rDNA) + Aluminium Hydroxide + Thiomersal1 vaccine helps develop immunity by initiating a mild infection. This type of infection does not cause illness but stimulates the body's immune system to produce antibodies (proteins) to protect against any future infections. Hepatitis B Vaccine (rDNA) + Aluminium Hydroxide + Thiomersal2 is an adjuvant which enhances the effectiveness of Hepatitis B Vaccine (rDNA) + Aluminium Hydroxide + Thiomersal1 vaccine.
