Kinetics Boostrix Vaccine (VACBOIX)
Why Do New Born Baby Carers Need Whooping Cough Vaccine?
The rate of pertussis transmitted by family members is relatively high, 85% of new born babies cases are transmitted by family members (4). So it is recommended that caregivers of newborn babies, except for pregnant women, receive the Boostrix vaccine 2 weeks before the baby's birth.
Why Do Pregnant Women Need Whooping Cough Vaccine?
From birth to 6 months of age, newborn babies are more susceptible to pertussis infection because they have not yet completed the basic vaccine. The first dose of pertussis vaccine is only started when the baby is 2 months old, and it may take 1-2 months after the injection to produce antibodies, that is, it may not start to have protective effect until 3-4 months old. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th injections at 6 and 18 months, respectively, have the most comprehensive protection.
Pregnant women who are vaccinated against whooping cough during the second or third trimester of pregnancy can produce antibodies in the mother's body and transmit the antibodies to the baby through the placenta, so that the baby can be protected.
In addition, the Boostrix Vaccine (VACBOIX) is a mandatory health requirement for school enrollment in countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia, in order to prevent cluster infections on campus and to block the risk of bringing the virus to high-risk infants and young children abroad.
