What Is the TETRAXIM Vaccine Dubai?

The TETRAXIM vaccine Dubai is a 4-in-1 combination vaccine designed to protect against:

Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (Whooping Cough), and Poliomyelitis (Polio).

Administered by DHA-licensed physicians at your home, hotel, or clinic across Dubai, TETRAXIM is a non-live, acellular vaccine manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur. Each 0.5 mL intramuscular dose is commonly used as a booster vaccine in children who have already completed primary immunisation with Hexaxim, Infanrix Hexa, or Pentaxim.

What Is Inside the TETRAXIM Formulation?

Each 0.5 mL dose contains purified antigens for four diseases.

TETRAXIM is a non-live vaccine and cannot cause infection.

How Does the TETRAXIM Vaccine Work?

TETRAXIM works by stimulating the immune system to produce protective antibodies against four serious infections.

These antibodies:

• Recognise and neutralise pathogens

• Maintain immunity built during earlier vaccinations

As a booster vaccine, it reinforces immune memory, ensuring long-term protection.
