WHAT FLUAD TETRA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Fluad Tetra is a vaccine against flu (influenza).
When a person is given the vaccine, the immune system (the body’s
natural defence system) will
produce its own protection against the influenza virus. None of the
ingredients in the vaccine can
cause flu.
Fluad Tetra is used to prevent flu in adults 50 years of age and
older.
The vaccine targets four strains of influenza virus following the
recommendations by the World
Health Organisation for the 2023/2024 season.
