WHAT FLUENZ IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Fluenz is a vaccine to prevent influenza (flu). It is used in children
and adolescents 24 months
to less than 18 years of age.
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 the flu.
Fluenz vaccine viruses are grown in chicken eggs. The vaccine targets
three strains of influenza
virus each year, following the annual recommendations by the World
Health Organisation.
