The Biovac A injection is an antiviral drug belonging to the class of inactivated vaccines containing the active ingredient of the Hepatitis A virus. It can be mainly used to prevent Hepatitis A virus infection, which is a liver inflammation that can cause mild to severe infection in patients. This vaccine helps to protect against Hepatitis A infection in people 16 years of age and older. 

Consult your doctor if you have a fever or infection before using the medicine. If you or your child are scheduled to receive multiple vaccines, it's always a good idea to discuss the vaccination plan with your healthcare provider. Inform your doctor if you have kidney problems or a history of Hepatitis viral infection before using the medication. Individuals with a known severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to a previous dose of this vaccine or any of its components should not receive the vaccine. It's important to inform your healthcare provider about any allergies or previous adverse reactions before getting vaccinated.
