WHAT AFLUNOV IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
AFLUNOV is a vaccine for use in adults from 18 onwards, intended to be
given in the context of
outbreaks of zoonotic influenza viruses (coming from birds) with
pandemic potential to prevent flu
caused by H5N1 viruses similar to the vaccine strain reported in
section 6.
Zoonotic influenza viruses occasionally infect humans, and can cause
disease ranging from mild upper
respiratory infection (fever and cough) to rapid progression to severe
pneumonia, acute respiratory
distress syndrome, shock and even death. Human infections are
primarily caused by contact with
infected animals, but do not spread easily between people.
AFLUNOV is intended also to be given when there is anticipation of a
possible pandemic due to the
same or a similar strain.
When a person is given the vaccine, the immune system (the body’s
natural defence system) will
produce its own protection (antibodies) against the disease. None of
the ingredients in the vaccine
can cause flu.
As with all vaccines, AFLUNOV may not fully protect all persons who
are vaccinated.
