inactivated hepatitis A vaccine<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Havrix is \u200b\u200ba vaccine against infection caused by the hepatitis A virus. The vaccine stimulates the body to make antibodies that protect against hepatitis A infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hepatitis A is an infectious disease that can affect the liver. The disease is caused by the hepatitis A virus. Hepatitis A virus is found in the feces of people with hepatitis A and can be transmitted from one person to another via contaminated food, or when, for example, you swim in water that is contaminated with wastewater. Symptoms of hepatitis A begin 3 to 6 weeks after contact with the viruset. The symptoms consist of nausea (general malaise), fever, aches, and pains. After a few days, the whites of the eyes and the skin may turn yellow (jaundice). The severity and type of symptoms may vary. Young children do not always develop jaundice. Most recover completely, but the disease is often severe enough to make you feel unwell for about a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vaccination is the best way to protect against this disease. The vaccine does not contain any ingredients that could cause infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
