Bilthoven Biologicals products

BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) is known as a vaccine against tuberculosis. But BCG is also an effective medication used in the treatment of bladder cancer. Bilthoven Biologicals produces BCG for a third party as treatment against bladder cancer.

Bilthoven Biologicals produces IPV, which is an inactivated polio vaccine. Among other uses, this vaccine is used for the global polio eradication program (GPEI). For IPV vaccine, we use inactivated (dead) polio virus. After vaccination, the inactivated virus triggers an immune response, but can no longer cause the disease itself.

The DT-IPV combination vaccine (diphteria, tetanus and poliomyelitis) can be used as the first (primary) inoculation, or as a booster vaccination. The Dutch Vaccination Program (RVP), delivers booster vaccination via Bilthoven Biologicals to each 9 year old.
DT-IPV vaccine is available in packaging for  1 or 10 vaccines.

Tetanus vaccine protects against infections with tetanus bacteria. Were you vaccinated with tetanus vaccine , DTaP-IPVor DTP-IPV longer than 10 years ago? In that case, you may need to be vaccinated again. A booster vaccination will protect you for another 10 years.
