Twinrix

A vaccine that combines both inactivated hepatitis A and recombinant hepatitis B (Twinrix) is approved for immunizing individuals greater than 18 years of age with indications for both hepatitis A and B vaccines. [Pg.345]

There are several combination vaccines available in the United States. One of the most popular pediatric combinations is Pediarix a combination of diphtheria and tetanus toxoids, acellular pertussis, inactivated poliovirus, and hepatitis B vaccines. ComVax is a combination of Haemophilus influenzae type b and hepatitis B vaccines. The most recent combination is ProQuad which contains measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella vaccines. The only combination available for adults is Twinrix which has hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines. [Pg.1247]

Singleantigen vaccine formulations should be administered in a 2-dose schedule at either 0 and 6-12 months (Havrix ), or 0 and 6-18 months (Vaqta ). If the rombined hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccine (Twinrix ) is used, administer 3 doses at 0,1, and 6 months. [Pg.1067]

Vaccines made with recombinant proteins marshal an immune response to specific viruses to treat or prevent disease. Vaccines to prevent infection with the liver-damaging hepatitis viruses (Twinrix , Recombivax HB , and Engerix-B ) include a recombinant version of a hepatitis virus B protein. Recombinant hepatitis B protein is also included in some combination vaccines given to children. Comvax also includes a recombinant flu virus protein. [Pg.77]

To date, the vaccines are known to have protective levels of anti-HAV for at least 5 to 8 years. 4 Based on kinetic models of antibody decline, protective anti-HAV levels should be present for 20 years to life. The vaccine is safe. Side effects include local reactions at the injection site (soreness, induration, redness, and swelling) and headache. Finally, the recent development of a multivalent combination vaccine against both HAV and HBV (Twinrix) provides a more rapid method of vaccinating individuals at risk for both diseases. The...
