WHAT ADJUPANRIX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT ADJUPANRIX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Adjupanrix is a vaccine for use in adults from 18 years old to prevent
pandemic flu (influenza).
Pandemic flu is a type of influenza that happens at intervals that
vary from less than 10 years to many
decades. It spreads rapidly around the world. The signs of pandemic
flu are similar to those of
ordinary flu but may be more serious.
HOW ADJUPANRIX WORKS
When a person is given the vaccine, the body’s natural defence
system (immune system) produces its
own protection (antibodies) against the disease. None of the
ingredients in the vaccine can cause flu.
As with all vaccines, Adjupanrix may not fully protect all persons who
are vaccinated.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU RECEIVE ADJUPANRIX
ADJUPANRIX

to any ingredient of this
vaccine (listed in section 6) or to anything else that may be present
in very small amounts, such
as: egg and chicken protein, ovalbumin, formaldehyde, gentamicin
sulphate (antibiotic) or
sodium deoxycholate.
