Vaxelis is given to children from 6 weeks of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vaccine works by causing the body to produce its protection (\u00a0antibodies\u00a0) against bacteria and\u00a0viruses\u00a0that cause the following diseases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Diphtheria: a bacterial infection that usually first affects the throat and causes pain and swelling that can lead to choking.\u00a0The bacterium also produces a\u00a0toxin\u00a0(poison) that can damage the heart, kidneys, and nerves.<\/li><li>Tetanus (\u00a0tetanus\u00a0): caused by tetanus bacteria entering the body through a deep wound.\u00a0The bacteria produce a\u00a0toxin\u00a0(poison) that causes muscle spasms which lead to breathing difficulties and the risk of suffocation.<\/li><li>Whooping cough (pertussis): a highly contagious disease that affects the respiratory tract.\u00a0The disease causes a severe cough that can cause problems with breathing.\u00a0The cough often has a &#8220;whooping&#8221; sound.\u00a0The cough may last for one to two months or longer.\u00a0Whooping cough can also cause ear infections, respiratory tract infections (\u00a0bronchitis\u00a0) that can last for a long time,\u00a0pneumonia, convulsions, brain damage, and even death.<\/li><li>Hepatitis\u00a0B: caused by\u00a0the hepatitis\u00a0B\u00a0virus.\u00a0This causes the liver to swell (become inflamed).\u00a0In some people, the\u00a0virus\u00a0can remain in the body for a long time and can eventually cause serious liver problems, e.g.\u00a0liver cancer.<\/li><li>Polio (poliomyelitis): caused by\u00a0viruses\u00a0that affect the nerves.\u00a0It can lead to paralysis or muscle weakness, usually in the legs.\u00a0Paralysis of muscles that control breathing and swallowing can cause death.<\/li><li>Infections\u00a0with\u00a0Haemophilus influenzae\u00a0type b (often just called Hib\u00a0infection\u00a0) are serious bacterial infections that can cause\u00a0meningitis\u00a0(\u00a0inflammation\u00a0of the outer membranes of the brain), which can lead to brain damage, deafness,\u00a0epilepsy,\u00a0or\u00a0partial\u00a0blindness.\u00a0Infection\u00a0can also cause\u00a0inflammation\u00a0and swelling in the throat, which in turn leads to breathing and swallowing difficulties;\u00a0infection\u00a0can affect other parts of the body such as\u00a0the blood, lungs, skin, bone tissue, and joints.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important information about how the vaccine works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Vaxelis only helps protect against diseases caused by the bacteria and&nbsp;viruses&nbsp;for which the vaccine is intended.&nbsp;Vaxelis does not protect your child against diseases caused by other bacteria and&nbsp;viruses&nbsp;that can cause similar symptoms.<\/li><li>The vaccine does not contain any live bacteria or&nbsp;viruses&nbsp;and cannot cause any of the infectious diseases it protects against.<\/li><li>As with all vaccines, it is not certain that Vaxelis protects 100% of the children who receive the vaccine.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before your child receives Vaxelis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure that Vaxelis is suitable for your child, it is important to talk to the doctor or nurse if any of the points listed below apply to your child.\u00a0If there is anything you do not understand, talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Vaxelis if your child:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>became short of breath or swollen in the face (\u00a0anaphylactic reaction\u00a0) after the previous\u00a0administration\u00a0of a\u00a0dose\u00a0of Vaxelis.<\/li><li>are allergic (hypersensitive)<ul><li>against Vaxelis vaccine or other vaccines containing\u00a0diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio,\u00a0hepatitis\u00a0B or Hib,<\/li><li>against any ingredient listed in section 6,<\/li><li>against glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde,\u00a0neomycin, streptomycin, polymyxin B (\u00a0antibiotics\u00a0), and bovine serum albumin as these substances are used during the manufacturing process.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>have had a serious reaction affecting the brain (\u00a0encephalopathy\u00a0) within 7 days of a previous\u00a0dose\u00a0of a pertussis vaccine (acellular or whole cell pertussis).<\/li><li>have an uncontrolled medical condition or serious illness affecting the brain and nervous system (uncontrolled neurological disorder) or uncontrolled\u00a0epilepsy.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and precautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to the doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before vaccination if your child:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>have a moderate to severe\u00a0acute\u00a0illness, with or without fever (eg sore throat, cough, cold, or\u00a0flu\u00a0).\u00a0Vaccination with Vaxelis may need to be postponed until your child feels better<\/li><li>have had any of the following after receiving pertussis (pertussis) vaccine, as the decision to give you an additional\u00a0dose\u00a0of pertussis-containing vaccine needs to be carefully considered:<ul><li>developed a fever of 40.5\u00b0C or higher within 48 hours that is not due to any other identifiable cause<\/li><li>lost muscle strength became uncontactable or unconscious within 48 hours of the previous vaccination<\/li><li>cried incessantly and could not be comforted for more than three hours within 48 hours of vaccination<\/li><li>had convulsions (convulsions) with or without fever, within 3 days of vaccination<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>previously had\u00a0Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome\u00a0(temporary loss of sensation and movement) after receiving a vaccine containing tetanus toxoid (an inactivated form of tetanus vaccine).\u00a0The doctor will decide whether your child should be given Vaxelis.<\/li><li>are receiving treatment (eg\u00a0steroids,\u00a0chemotherapy,\u00a0or radiotherapy) or have a disease that inhibits or reduces the body&#8217;s ability to fight\u00a0infection.\u00a0It is recommended to postpone vaccination until the end of such treatment or illness.\u00a0Children with long-term problems with the immune system such as\u00a0HIV\u00a0infection\u00a0(\u00a0AIDS\u00a0) can still be given Vaxelis\u00a0but the protection may not be as good as in children with a healthy immune system.<\/li><li>suffer from any undiagnosed disease of the brain or uncontrolled\u00a0epilepsy.\u00a0The doctor or nurse assesses the possible benefit of vaccination once the condition has stabilized.<\/li><li>have febrile seizures, or if there is a family history of febrile seizures<\/li><li>have had problems with bleeding for a long time after minor cuts, or bruises easily.\u00a0Your doctor will tell you if your child can receive Vaxelis.<\/li><li>was born prematurely (at or before the 28th week of pregnancy).\u00a0In these infants, longer pauses between breaths may occur for 2 to 3 days after vaccination.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines or vaccines and Vaxelis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell the doctor or nurse if your child is taking, has recently taken, or might take other medicines or vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vaxelis can be given at the same time as other vaccines such as pneumococcal vaccines, measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, rotavirus vaccines, or\u00a0meningococcal\u00a0C vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The doctor or nurse will give you these\u00a0injections\u00a0in different places and use different syringes and needles for each\u00a0injection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving ability and use of machinery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is expected that Vaxelis has no or negligible effect on the ability to drive and use machines.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wax ice cream contains sodium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of\u00a0sodium\u00a0per\u00a0dose, i.e.\u00a0is almost &#8220;sodium-free&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Vaxelis is given<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vaxelis is given to your child by a doctor or nurse trained in the use of vaccines and who can manage less common serious allergic reactions to&nbsp;injections&nbsp;(see section 4. Possible&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The doctor or nurse will inject Vaxelis into your child&#8217;s thigh (in babies from 6 weeks of age) or arm (children over 1 year).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recommended&nbsp;dose&nbsp;is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First vaccination series (primary vaccination)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your child will receive two or three\u00a0injections\u00a0at least one month apart.\u00a0The doctor or nurse will tell you when your child should return for his next\u00a0injection\u00a0according to the local vaccination program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional&nbsp;injection&nbsp;(booster)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the first injection series, your child will receive a booster dose, according to local recommendations, at least 6 months after the last\u00a0dose\u00a0of the first vaccination series.\u00a0Your doctor will tell you when this\u00a0dose\u00a0should be given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If your child misses a dose of Vaxelis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child misses a scheduled\u00a0injection, you must discuss it with your doctor or nurse who will decide when the missed\u00a0dose\u00a0should be given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to follow the instructions given by the doctor or nurse so that your child completes the entire vaccination series.&nbsp;Otherwise, your child may not have complete protection against the diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any further questions about this vaccine, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible side effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all medicines, this vaccine can cause\u00a0side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Severe allergic reactions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact a doctor IMMEDIATELY if any of these symptoms occur after your child receives their injection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>breathing difficulties<\/li><li>bluing of the tongue or lips<\/li><li>rash<\/li><li>swelling of the face or neck<\/li><li>low&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;that causes dizziness or collapse.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These signs or symptoms usually occur very soon after the&nbsp;injection&nbsp;is given and while the child is still in the clinic or doctor&#8217;s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serious allergic reactions are very rare (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 users) and they can occur after a vaccination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other\u00a0side effects\u00a0ar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child experiences any of the following\u00a0side effects, talk to a doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Very
