VACCINE BOOSTRIX POLIO
"Boostrix Polio" is a combined inactivated vaccine for the prevention of diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and poliomyelitis. It is used for revaccination (booster immunization) in children over 4 years old and adults.
Boostrix Polio is a combination vaccine that protects against four infections:
• Diphtheria (d)
• Tetanus (T)
• Pertussis (aP)
• Poliomyelitis (inactivated polio – IPV)
This is a booster vaccine, meaning it is used for revaccination rather than the primary series.
⸻
🔹 Intended for
• Adolescents and adults for routine revaccination.
• Often recommended for pregnant women to protect newborns from pertussis (at 27–36 weeks).
• Used as a booster after injuries when tetanus protection is needed.
⸻
🔹 What it protects against
• Pertussis — prevents severe forms and reduces transmission to infants.
• Diphtheria — a severe bacterial infection causing toxic damage to the heart and nervous system.
• Tetanus — a life-threatening disease when bacteria enter a wound.
• Poliomyelitis — a virus causing paralysis.
⸻
🔹 Administration schedule
• Typically, one dose is given every 10 years as part of routine adult revaccination.
• During pregnancy — one dose in each pregnancy cycle (at the specified time).
⸻
🔹 Side effects
(usually mild and resolve within 1–3 days)
• Pain or swelling at the injection site
• Fever
• Weakness, headache
• Muscle aches
Serious reactions are extremely rare.
⸻
🔹 Advantages
• Allows for one injection instead of several (diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis/polio).
• Well tolerated by adults.
• Protects against pertussis — a disease that has been increasingly spreading among adults in recent years.
