Diphteria

About this treatment

Re**xis is an inactivated vaccine used as a booster shot to protect against diphtheria, tetanus, and poliomyelitis (polio). It is a combined vaccine that is typically administered to children from age six, adolescents, and adults who have already completed their primary vaccination course. It is often given in response to a tetanus-prone injury if the individual's vaccination history is incomplete.   How it works Active immunization:  The vaccine stimulates the body to produce its own protection against the three diseases.  Toxins and viruses:  It contains purified toxoids from diphtheria and tetanus, along with inactivated poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3.  No live virus:  Since it does not contain live bacteria or viruses, it cannot cause the diseases it protects against.  Administration and use Injection: Revaxis is given as an injection, typically in the upper arm.  Booster: It is used as a booster and is not intended for initial or primary immunization.  Tetanus-prone injuries: It can be given to children, young people, and adults over 10 who are not up to date with their tetanus-containing immunizations, especially after an injury like a cut or burn.
