WHAT FLUENZ TETRA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Fluenz Tetra is a vaccine to prevent influenza (flu). It is used in
children and adolescents 24 months to
less than 18 years of age. Fluenz Tetra will help to protect against
the four virus strains contained in
the vaccine, and other strains closely related to them.
HOW FLUENZ TETRA WORKS
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 Tetra vaccine viruses are grown in chicken eggs. Each year the
vaccine targets four strains of
influenza, following the annual recommendations by the World Health
Organisation.
