Influvax Tetra

Dosage:

• Adults and children over 36 months of age: 0.5ml
• Children from 6 to 35 months of age: clinical data are limited. Doses of 0.25 ml or 0.5 ml have been used.

Administrations: For children who have not previously been vaccinated, a second dose should be given after an interval of at least 4 weeks. If half a dose (0.25 ml) is to be administered, discard half the contained volume (up to the mark indicated on the syringe barrel), before injection. Immunisation should be carried out by intramuscular or deep subcutaneous injection. The vaccine should be allowed to reach room temperature before use. Shake before use. Seroprotection is generally obtained within 2 to 3 weeks. The duration of postvaccinal immunity to homologous strains or to strains closely related to the vaccine strains varies but is usually 6-12 months.

Prophylaxis of influenza (flu), especially in those who run an increased risk of associated complications. The use of Inactivated Influenza Vaccine should be based on official recommendations.

Antibody response in patients with endogenous (due to illness) or iatrogenic (due to medicine) immunosuppression (poor immune response) may be insufficient. As with all injectable vaccines, appropriate medical treatment and supervision should always be readily available in case of a rare anaphylactic event following the administration of the vaccine. Inactivated Influenza Vaccine should under no circumstances be administered intravascularly.
