WHAT AREPANRIX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Arepanrix is a vaccine against a pandemic influenza (flu).
Pandemic flu is a type of influenza that occurs every few decades and
which spreads rapidly around
the world. The symptoms of pandemic flu are similar to those of
ordinary flu but may be more severe.
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 ingredients in the vaccine can
cause flu.
As with all vaccines, Arepanrix may not fully protect all persons who
are vaccinated.
