WHAT PUMARIX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT PUMARIX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Pumarix 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 PUMARIX 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, Pumarix may not fully protect all persons who
are vaccinated.
2.

vaccine (listed in section 6) or to anything else that may be present

deoxycholate.

Signs of an allergic reaction may include itchy skin r
