Avaxim 80 Drug Interactions

The immunological response may be diminished in case of immunosuppressive treatment.
The vaccine may be administered at the same time as routine booster vaccines of the child during the second year of life, i.e. the various vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae of type b and poliomyelitis.
This vaccine can also be administered at the same time as a vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella.
All injections must be performed in separate injection sites, i.e. in another part of the body such as another arm or another leg, and the vaccines must not be mixed in the same syringe.
This vaccine can be administered at the same time as immunoglobulins (antibodies obtained from blood donation) but in two separate injection sites.
AVAXIM 80 U PEDIATRIC may not work so well if it is given at the same time as the immunoglobulins. However the child will probably be protected against the hepatitis A infection.
This vaccine can be used as a booster dose in subjects who have received a first vaccination with another inactivated hepatitis A vaccine.
Tell the doctor or pharmacist if the child is taking, has recently taken or might take any other medicines.
