Pharmacological action of

The Havrix vaccine provides protection against hepatitis A, forming specific immunity by inducing the production of antibodies against hepatitis A virus (HAV), as well as the activation of cellular mechanisms of immunity.

Clinical studies have shown that seroprotection (> 20 mIU / ml) is achieved in 99% of those vaccinated 30 days after the first dose. The data obtained when the vaccine was administered twice with an interval of 6-12 months, we can conclude that 97% of the vaccinated 25 years after the course will have a protective antibody titer (> 20 mIU / ml). When studying the kinetics of the immune response, it was found that after administration of a single dose of the Havrix vaccine in 79% of vaccinees, seroprotection is achieved on day 13 86.3% on the 15th day, 95.2% on the 17th day, and 99% on the 19th day, i.e. these time intervals are shorter than the average incubation period for hepatitis A (4 weeks).

The efficacy of the Havrix vaccine was evaluated during outbreaks of disease affecting large populations (Alaska, Slovakia, USA, UK, Israel, Italy), as well as in family outbreaks and organized children’s groups. These studies showed that Havrix vaccination led to the cessation of outbreaks. With vaccine coverage of at least 80% of the susceptible population, relief of the outbreak is achieved within 4-8 weeks.

To ensure long-term protection, a second (booster) dose should be administered between 6 and 12 months. after the first dose. It was found that revaccination carried out in the period up to 12-60 months after vaccination, induces the production of the same level of antibodies as revaccination after 6-12 months. after vaccination.

Based on the available data, it can be concluded that there is no need for additional revaccination after a two-dose vaccination course for persons with unchanged immune status.

Indications

Prevention of hepatitis A from 12 months of age.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine hypersensitivity symptoms to previous administration of the Havrix vaccine.

Acute infectious and non-infectious diseases, exacerbation of chronic diseases are temporary contraindications for vaccinations in mild acute respiratory viral infections, acute intestinal diseases vaccinations are carried out immediately after normalization of temperature.

Use during pregnancy and lactation

Due to the lack of adequate data on the use of the vaccine during pregnancy and lactation, it is not recommended to administer Havriks to pregnant and lactating women, despite the minimal risk of exposure of the inactivated vaccines to the fetus and child.

Havriks during pregnancy and lactation should be used only if there are absolute indications.

Special instructions

These include:

persons traveling to hyperendemic regions or regions where hepatitis A has a flare-up incidence. Travelers:

Military personnel: military personnel deployed in areas with unsatisfactory sanitary conditions or unwarranted water supplies.

Persons whose hepatitis A disease due to their professional affiliation can lead to outbreaks of

and for whom there is a professional risk of hepatitis A virus infection: school and kindergarten staff, nurses and nurses, especially in infectious, gastroenterological and pediatric medical treatment -professional institutions, workers of sewage systems and water treatment facilities, workers of catering and food industry – product new warehouses personnel of closed institutions of the GUIN system, social security and medical institutions.

Persons living or in the foci of hepatitis A, including family, or living in areas where outbreaks are recorded.

People with a behavioral risk of getting hepatitis A virus: homosexuals, people who have hectic sex lives, drug addicts who inject drugs.

Patients suffering from hemophilia

Persons who have household contact with an infected person. Virus isolation can occur for quite some time. In this regard, vaccination is recommended for all persons in contact with the infected.

Populations with a known high incidence of hepatitis A or those populations in which the incidence of hepatitis A is increased due to low sanitary conditions.

Persons with chronic liver disease or an increased risk of liver disease (chronic carriers of hepatitis B, C viruses, delta, people suffering from chronic hepatitis of alcoholic, autoimmune, toxic, drug and other genesis, persons with Wilson-Konovalov ² „¢s disease, hepatoses and hepatopathies).

In regions of moderate or high endemicity, hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for all susceptible populations.

Vaccination regimens

The single dose for primary vaccination for adults and adolescents over 16 years old is 1.0 ml, for children and adolescents under 16 years old – 0.5 ml.

Revaccination is carried out 6-12 months after vaccination, using a dosage of the drug that is appropriate for age.
