Synflorix Vaccine is a vaccine which helps develop immunity by initiating a mild infection. This type of infection does not cause illness but stimulates the body's immune system to produce antibodies (proteins) to protect against any future infections.

Synflorix Vaccine is given to prevent invasive diseases caused by pneumococcal bacteria such as pneumonia, meningitis, ear, and blood infections. It is usually given as an injection into the muscle (intramuscular) of the upper arm or upper thigh. It is usually given twice or thrice with at least a gap of 1 month between each dose. Inform your doctor if your child has an infection with a high temperature as vaccination may need to be delayed until recovery. It may cause fever.
