Introduction to Easysix Injection
Easysix Injection contains active components such as Diptheria immune globulin, Haemophilus type B conjugate vaccine, pertussis toxoid, tetanus toxoid, poliomyelitis virus type, poliomyelitis virus type 2, poliomyelitis virus type 3. It is a combination vaccine that is used to protect infants and toddlers from six serious diseases: Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (whooping cough), Hepatitis B, Poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) disease.Â
Diphtheria is a bacterial infection that affects the respiratory system and can lead to severe throat and breathing difficulties. Tetanus is a bacterial infection that causes muscle stiffness and spasms, often resulting from contaminated wounds. Pertussis (whooping cough) is a highly contagious respiratory disease characterized by severe coughing fits and a distinctive "whooping" sound during inhalation. Hepatitis B is a viral infection that targets the liver, leading to inflammation and potentially causing chronic liver disease. Poliomyelitis is a highly infectious viral disease that attacks the nervous system, leading to paralysis and muscle weakness. Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) disease is a bacterial infection that can cause severe illnesses such as pneumonia, meningitis, and other infections primarily affecting young children. This vaccine is safe and effective. It has been studied extensively and effectively prevents the diseases it protects against. When more children are vaccinated, it helps to protect the entire community from disease. This is because vaccinated children are less likely to spread the disease to others. By vaccinating your child, you are helping to protect your child's community from disease.
