Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Nukovax 13 vaccine stimulates the body's immune system to produce antibodies against 13 specific serotypes of pneumococcal bacteria. It contains purified capsular polysaccharides from these serotypes, which serve as antigens. When injected, these antigens trigger an immune response, resulting in the production of type-specific antibodies. This antibody production helps protect against pneumococcal disease by enabling the body to recognise and neutralise the bacteria upon future exposure....
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
Nukovax 13 vaccine may not work as well when combined with immune-suppressing medications.
