WHAT FLUAD
® IS USED FOR
FLUAD
®
is a vaccine used to help
prevent certain types of influenza or
“flu”. It is recommended for people
aged 65 years and over.
It is especially beneficial in people
aged 65 and over with
cardiovascular disease, respiratory
disease or diabetes and those who
are considered to have an
increased risk of complications
from influenza.
Influenza is a sudden respiratory
infection caused by a virus. It is
usually spread from one person to
another by small droplets from
coughs and sneezes. The virus
enters the nose or throat and may
spread to the lungs. It is very
contagious. There are several kinds
of influenza viruses however they
all produce similar illness. Influenza
is characterised by a sudden onset
of headache, generalised aches
and pain, fever that may be
followed by a sore throat, a cough
and a runny nose. The severity and
types of symptoms can vary. Most
people recover in about a week;
however, infection with influenza in
some people can lead to serious
illness, especially the elderly and
those who are “run down” or are in
poor health.
Vaccination against influenza helps
prevent infection with influenza and
to control the spread of the
disease.

is a purified, inactivated, surface antigen influenza vaccine,
adjuvanted with
MF59C.1 in a milky-white suspension for injection.
Each 0.5 mL dose contains influenza virus surface antigens of each of
three purified
surface antigens representative of the influenza virus types expected
to circulate in the
Southern Hemisphere winter according to WHO recommendations for the
2019
season:
-
A/Michigan/45/2015 (H1N1) pdm09 - like virus (A/Singapore/GP1908/2015
(IVR-180)):
15 micrograms HA* per dose

vaccine is prepared from virus grown
in embryonated hens’ eggs and
inactivated with formaldehyde before purification and combination with
MF59C.1, an
adjuvant known to increase the immunogenicity of vaccines. MF59C.1
contains the oil
squalene which is obtained from shark liver and is also found in
humans as a metabolite
of cholesterol and as a normal component of cell membranes.

®
conform to the requirements of the
Australian Influenza Vaccine Committee for the 2019 Southern
Hemisphere Influenza
season. The strains chosen for vaccine manufacture are endorsed by the
Australian
Influenza Vaccine Committee as being antigenically equivalent to the
reference virus.
