PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION OF THE MEDICINE:
After injection, increasing levels of the surface antigens in the circulation stimulate the production of immunoglobulins
of the M and G type which first become detectable in the serum at about 5 - 7 days, rising to a maximum between 10 -
21 days. A rise of fourfold in the circulating levels of a specific antibody is taken as indicative of a successful (and thus
protective) response.

Prophylaxis against influenza in high risk groups, especially the elderly. Also recommended for patients with chronic
