Stamaril Pre Filled Syringe Of 0.5ml Suspension For Injection
Description
Stamaril vaccine is used to protect from yellow fever. Yellow fever is a serious illness caused by a virus found in certain parts of the world. This vaccine contains a weakened, live yellow fever virus that cannot cause the illness itself. It helps your body learn how to fight the real virus if you are ever exposed to it.
Common side effects of this vaccine include injection site reactions (pain, swelling, redness), muscle pain, fever, weakness, and loss of appetite. If these persist or worsen, inform your doctor for support. Before receiving the vaccine, disclose any other illnesses and all medications you are taking to ensure its safety.
