Pertussis (whooping cough) is a highly contagious respiratory disease characterized by severe coughing fits and a distinctive "whooping" sound during inhalation. Hepatitis B is a viral infection that targets the liver, leading to inflammation and potentially causing chronic liver disease. Poliomyelitis is a highly infectious viral disease that attacks the nervous system, leading to paralysis and muscle weakness. Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) disease is a bacterial infection that can cause severe illnesses such as pneumonia, meningitis, and other infections primarily affecting young children. Easysix vaccine is safe and effective. It has been studied extensively and effectively prevents the diseases it protects against. When more children are vaccinated, it helps to protect the entire community from disease. This is because vaccinated children are less likely to spread the disease to others. By vaccinating your child, you are helping to protect your child's community from disease. Easysix vaccine price India varies by location and retailer.
