WHAT OPTAFLU IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Optaflu is a vaccine against flu (influenza). Due to the kind of
manufacturing Optaflu is free of
chicken/egg protein.
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.
Optaflu is used to prevent flu in adults, especially in those who run
an increased risk of experiencing
associated complications in case they fall ill with flu.
The vaccine targets three strains of influenza virus following the
recommendations by the World
Health Organisation for the 2015/2016 season.
