WHAT PANDEMIC INFLUENZA VACCINE H5N1 BAXTER IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
PANDEMIC INFLUENZA VACCINE H5N1 BAXTER is a vaccine used in
individuals
aged 6 months adults and older. It is used to prevent influenza (flu)
in an officially declared pandemic.
Pandemic flu is a type of influenza that occurs every few decades and
which spreads rapidly to affect
most countries and regions around the world. The symptoms (signs) of
pandemic flu are similar to
those of an ‘ordinary’ flu but are usually more severe.
The vaccine works by helping the body to produce its own protection
(antibodies) against the disease.
