Serious risk of infections and vaccines
What is the most important information to know about FABHALTA?
FABHALTA is a medicine that affects part of your immune system and may lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections.
FABHALTA increases your chance of getting serious infections caused by encapsulated bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Haemophilus influenzae type B. These serious infections may quickly become life-threatening or fatal if not recognized and treated early.
If you have been vaccinated against these bacteria in the past, you might need additional vaccinations before starting FABHALTA. Your doctor will decide if you need additional vaccinations.
While taking FABHALTA, you should be revaccinated according to current medical guidelines for encapsulated bacteria.
