Inactivated Hepatitis A Vaccine PFS | HAVshield - Abbott

Advanced Pediatric Hepatitis A Immunization

When protecting pediatric patients against the highly contagious Hepatitis A virus, healthcare providers require a proven, safe, and highly reliable clinical intervention. The Inactivated Hepatitis A Vaccine (Adsorbed) I.P. (commercially recognized as HAVshield) provides targeted, active immunization designed strictly for intramuscular (IM) administration. Marketed by Abbott India Ltd., a globally trusted leader in healthcare, this single pediatric dose pre-filled syringe ensures the steady clinical performance necessary for critical childhood immunization schedules.

Why Choose HAVshield for Clinical Immunization?

Shielding infants and children from Hepatitis A requires a vaccine that guarantees both safety and high immunogenicity. Instead of relying on multidose vials that require careful clinical drawing, specialists benefit from HAVshield's convenient pre-filled syringe (PFS) format. Utilizing the highly effective inactivated TZ84 strain, this vaccine establishes robust immunity without the risks associated with live vaccines. The PFS design significantly minimizes preparation time, reduces the risk of dosing errors, and maximizes sterility in busy pediatric clinics.
