Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Hexaxim is a combination vaccine designed to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against six serious diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), hepatitis B, poliomyelitis, and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). It contains inactivated components, or antigens, from each of these pathogens, which do not cause disease but are sufficient to trigger an immune response. This process helps the body learn to recognize and fight these infections if exposed in the future, providing active immunity....
