ENGEREX-B HEPATITIS VACCINE PAED – 1

ENGERIX-B 10MCG is a vaccine used to prevent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection that can lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. The vaccine is particularly important for infants, children, and adolescents, as well as adults who are at higher risk of exposure to the virus, such as healthcare workers, individuals with multiple sexual partners, and those with chronic liver disease.

The vaccine is administered in a series of doses, with the 10MCG formulation specifically designed for pediatric use. It stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against the hepatitis B virus, providing immunity. ENGERIX-B is safe and effective, and it is recommended by health authorities worldwide as part of routine childhood vaccination schedules. By vaccinating against hepatitis B, we can significantly reduce the incidence of this preventable disease.
