TWINRIX Safety Profile 1

TWINRIX adult safety and tolerability profile

TWINRIX was generally well tolerated

  • The assessment of safety and tolerability of TWINRIX was based on data from more than 6000 subjects who received the standard 3-dose schedule or rapid 4-dose schedule 1

Adverse reactions considered by the investigator as being at least possibly related to TWINRIX vaccination in adults 1

Adapted from the TWINRIX Product Monograph.

TWINRIX pediatric safety and tolerability profile

TWINRIX Junior was generally well tolerated

  • The assessment of safety and tolerability of TWINRIX Junior was based on data from ~800 subjects who received the standard 3-dose schedule 1

Adverse reactions considered by the investigator as being at least possibly related to TWINRIX Junior vaccination in children *1

Adapted from the TWINRIX Product Monograph.

* Following standard 3-dose schedule (0, 1, 6 months).
 Refers to adverse reactions observed in clinical trials with TWINRIX.

TWINRIX combined hepatitis A (inactivated) and hepatitis B (recombinant) vaccine is indicated for active immunization against hepatitis A and hepatitis B virus infection in adults, adolescents, children and infants. 1

TWINRIX will not protect against infection caused by other agents such as hepatitis C, hepatitis E and other pathogens known to infect the liver. It can be expected that hepatitis D will also be prevented by immunization with TWINRIX as hepatitis D (caused by the delta agent) does not occur in the absence of hepatitis B infection. 1
