WHAT FOCETRIA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Focetria is a vaccine to prevent influenza (flu) caused by A(H1N1v)
2009 virus.
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
ingredient in the vaccine can cause flu.
