WHAT PANDEMRIX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT PANDEMRIX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Pandemrix is a vaccine to prevent influenza (flu) caused by A(H1N1)v
2009 virus.
Your doctor will normally recommend a different vaccine (annual
trivalent/quadrivalent influenza
vaccine) instead of Pandemrix, but if the trivalent/quadrivalent
vaccines are not available Pandemrix may
still be an option if you need protection against A(H1N1)v influenza
(see Take special care with
Pandemrix).
HOW PANDEMRIX WORKS
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.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU RECEIVE PANDEMRIX
PANDEMRIX SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN:
•
if you have previously had a sudden life-threatening allergic reaction
to any ingredient of this
vaccine (listed in section 6) or
