What Diseases Does TETRAXIM Protect Against?

Diphtheria

A serious bacterial infection affecting the throat and airways that may lead to breathing difficulties, heart complications, and neurological damage.

Tetanus

A potentially fatal disease caused by bacterial toxins affecting muscles and nerves, commonly known as "lockjaw."

Pertussis (Whooping Cough)

A highly contagious respiratory infection causing severe coughing fits, particularly dangerous in infants.

Poliomyelitis (Polio)

A viral disease that can cause permanent paralysis, disability, and in severe cases respiratory failure.

What Is Inside the TETRAXIM Formulation?

Each 0.5 mL dose contains purified antigens providing protection against four diseases.

TETRAXIM is an inactivated vaccine and cannot cause diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, or polio infection.

How Does the TETRAXIM Vaccine Work?

TETRAXIM stimulates the immune system to produce protective antibodies against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and poliovirus without exposing the child to active disease.

Following vaccination:

• Immune cells recognize vaccine antigens

• Protective antibodies are produced

• Immunological memory develops

• Future exposure to these diseases triggers rapid immune protection

This immune response helps prevent severe infection, complications, hospitalization, and long-term disability.
