Quad 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
adjuvant is a
squalene based oil-in-water emulsion. Squalene is of fish origin. It
is also a normal
component in the human body and is easily metabolized and excreted.
