1. What is HBVAXPRO 5 micrograms and what is it used for

This vaccine is indicated for active immunization against hepatitis B virus infection caused by all known subtypes, in individuals from birth to 15 years of age considered at risk of exposure to hepatitis B virus.

It can be expected that immunization with HBVAXPRO will also prevent hepatitis D, since hepatitis D does not occur in the absence of hepatitis B infection.

The vaccine does not prevent infections caused by other agents such as hepatitis A, hepatitis C, and hepatitis E, or by other pathogens known to infect the liver.

Other vaccines and HBVAXPRO 5 micrograms

HBVAXPRO can be administered at the same time as hepatitis B immunoglobulin, in different injection sites.

HBVAXPRO can be used to complete a primary immunization cycle or as a booster dose in individuals who have previously received another hepatitis B vaccine.

HBVAXPRO can be administered at the same time as some other vaccines, using different injection sites and needles.

Tell your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you or your child is taking or has recently taken any other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription.

Pregnancy and lactation

Caution should be exercised when prescribing the vaccine to pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before using any medicine.

Driving and using machines

HBVAXPRO is expected to have no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.

HBVAXPRO 5 micrograms contains sodium:this medicine contains less than 23 mg of sodium (1 mmol) per dose; this is essentially “sodium-free”.

3. How HBVAXPRO 5 micrograms is administered

Dose

The recommended dose per injection (0.5 ml) is 5 micrograms in individuals from birth to 15 years of age.

A vaccination cycle should include at least three injections.

Two vaccination schedules can be recommended:

  • two injections with a one-month interval followed by a third injection six months after the first administration (0, 1, 6 months).

In case of recent exposure to hepatitis B virus, a first dose of HBVAXPRO can be administered along with the appropriate dose of immunoglobulin.

Some local vaccination schedules currently recommend a booster dose. Your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse will inform you if you need a booster dose.

Method of administration

The vial should be shaken well until a slightly opaque white suspension is obtained. Once the vial is pierced, the withdrawn vaccine should be administered immediately and the vial discarded.

The doctor or nurse will administer the vaccine by injection into the muscle. The preferred injection site in newborns and infants is the upper part of the thigh. The preferred injection site in older children and adolescents is the muscle of the upper arm.

This vaccine should never be administered into a blood vessel.

Exceptionally, the vaccine can be administered subcutaneously in patients with thrombocytopenia (decreased blood platelets) or in individuals at risk of bleeding.

If you or your child misses a dose of HBVAXPRO 5 micrograms

If you or your child misses a scheduled injection, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse. Your doctor or nurse will decide when to administer the missed dose.

If you or your child has any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.

As with other hepatitis B vaccines, in many cases, a causal relationship between the side effects and the vaccine has not been established.
