Menactra Vaccine 0.5 ml

Menactra Vaccine belongs to the class of medicines known as immunizing agents. It provides protection against infections caused by Neisseria meningitidis, a type of bacteria that can lead to serious conditions like meningitis and septicemia. Specifically, Menactra Vaccine helps protect against the four main strains of Neisseria meningitidis: types (A, C, Y, W-135). Meningitis is an infection of the protective membranes around the brain and spinal cord, while septicemia is a blood infection that can spread rapidly and become life-threatening.

Menactra Vaccine contains Meningococcal (A, C, Y, W-135) polysaccharide and Diphtheria toxoid. Menactra Vaccine stimulates the body’s immune system to produce antibodies against the meningococcal bacteria, thereby preventing meningitis and bloodstream infections caused by these bacteria.

In some cases, this medicine may cause side effects like tiredness, injection site reactions, nausea, vomiting, headache, or fever. The majority of these side effects may not require medical treatment and will subside with time. However, if the adverse effects persist or worsen, see a doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have a history of Guillain-Barre syndrome, bleeding disorders, allergic reactions, high fever, immune disorders, or recent vaccinations. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before receiving Menactra Vaccine .
