About SII TD-Vac Vaccine

SII TD-Vac Vaccine 5 ml is a prescription medicine that combines various ingredients to help prevent diphtheria and tetanus infections. The vaccine is designed to boost the body's immunity and offer protection against future occurrences of these diseases.

Diphtheria is a severe respiratory infection that can lead to complications such as difficulty breathing, heart problems, paralysis, and even death. Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is caused by bacteria entering the body through wounds or burns and affecting the nervous system. SII TD-Vac Vaccine 5 ml does not treat active infections but works by exposing the body to small doses of bacteria or their proteins, aiding in developing immunity against diphtheria and tetanus.

This vaccine must be administered by a healthcare professional and is not suitable for individuals with known allergies to its components. Common side effects of the SII TD-Vac Vaccine 5 ml include fever, crying, and loss of appetite, which may vary in severity among individuals. Should these side effects persist or worsen, it is important to inform your doctor promptly.

Prior to receiving the SII TD-Vac Vaccine 5 ml, it is crucial to disclose any history of severe allergic reactions to vaccines, immune system disorders, HIV infection, certain cancers, or other medical conditions. Pregnant women, those planning to conceive, and breastfeeding mothers should inform their healthcare provider before vaccination. The pediatric version of the vaccine is recommended for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years, while it is not intended for use in infants under six weeks old or children older than 7 years.

It is advised to abstain from alcohol while undergoing treatment with SII TD-Vac Vaccine 5 ml. The vaccine is considered safe for use in breastfeeding mothers and individuals with liver and kidney diseases.
