Boostrix Vaccine – Advanced Booster Protection Against Diphtheria, Tetanus & Pertussis
Description:
Boostrix Vaccine is a combination booster immunization designed to provide long-lasting protection against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough). It is recommended for individuals aged 4 years and above who have already completed their primary vaccination series. This booster shot strengthens immunity against these serious bacterial infections, helping maintain long-term protection.
The Boostrix Vaccine is administered as a single intramuscular injection, typically into the upper arm, by a qualified healthcare professional. It plays a crucial role in public health, especially for pregnant women, as it helps transfer passive immunity to newborns, safeguarding them against pertussis during their first few months of life.
Key Ingredients (Active Components):
-
Diphtheria toxoid
-
Tetanus toxoid
-
Pertussis toxoid
Key Benefits:
-
Triple Protection: Offers immunity against diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough in a single dose.
-
Prevents Tetanus: Helps the body produce antibodies that neutralize tetanus toxin, preventing painful muscle stiffness and spasms.
-
Prevents Pertussis (Whooping Cough): Reduces the risk of infection and transmission of pertussis, especially crucial for newborns and infants.
-
Prevents Diphtheria: Provides strong defense against diphtheria, a serious throat infection that can lead to respiratory complications.
-
Maternal & Neonatal Immunity: When administered during the second or third trimester of pregnancy, it helps protect newborns from pertussis through maternal antibodies.
-
Safe & Well-Tolerated: Proven to be safe in both adults and pregnant women when used under medical supervision.
How It Works:
Boostrix Vaccine contains inactivated bacterial toxins (toxoids) that stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies without causing disease. These antibodies remain in the body and help recognize and fight real infections if exposed in the future.
