Bevac vaccine is an active immunizing agent used to prevent Hepatitis B infection in at-risk individuals.
In more detail, the Bevac vaccine works as follows:
- Active Immunization: It stimulates the body's immune system to produce antibodies against the Hepatitis B virus (HBV).
- Prevention of Hepatitis B: These antibodies provide protection against infection if the individual is later exposed to HBV.
- At-Risk Individuals: It's given to people considered at risk of exposure to the Hepatitis B virus. This may include healthcare workers, people who inject drugs, and infants born to mothers with Hepatitis B.
