Frequently asked questions

What is Influvac used for?+
Influvac is an influenza virus vaccine indicated for the prophylactic prevention of influenza infection caused by influenza A and influenza B viruses. It is administered to individuals at risk of seasonal flu to reduce the likelihood of contracting the disease and to contribute to community immunity.
How does the influenza virus vaccine in Influvac work?+
The vaccine contains purified viral antigens from selected influenza A and B strains. After intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, these antigens are processed by the immune system, prompting B‑cell and T‑cell activation. This leads to the production of strain‑specific antibodies that provide protective immunity if the person is later exposed to the matching influenza viruses.
What is the usual dose of Influvac?+
The dosage of Influvac is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on age, health status, and local immunization guidelines. Typically, a single dose is administered to each eligible individual, with repeat dosing recommended annually according to public‑health recommendations.
Is Influvac safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Influvac may be administered during pregnancy when the potential benefits outweigh any theoretical risks, but the decision should be made by a healthcare provider. Limited data are available for breastfeeding mothers; however, inactivated influenza vaccines are generally considered compatible with lactation.

How does Influvac compare with other influenza vaccines?+
Influvac contains specific strains (influenza B/Austria/1359417/2021‑like and influenza A/Vic) selected for the current season, similar to other quadrivalent or trivalent formulations. Its safety profile and immunogenicity are comparable to other licensed influenza vaccines, but the exact strain composition may differ, influencing regional effectiveness based on circulating viruses.
How should Influvac be stored and handled?+
Influvac must be stored at 2‑8 °C (refrigerated). Keep the vials in the original packaging, protect them from light, and avoid freezing or shaking. Temperature excursions should be documented, and any product that has been exposed to temperatures outside the recommended range should be discarded.
How is Influvac administered?+
Influvac is administered by a qualified healthcare professional via intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, typically into the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. The injection site should be cleaned with an appropriate antiseptic before administration, and the patient should be observed for a short period after vaccination for any immediate reactions.
What are the most serious risks associated with Influvac?+
Serious adverse events, although rare, include anaphylaxis, severe allergic reactions, Guillain‑Barré syndrome, high fever, seizures, and acute respiratory distress. Prompt medical attention is required if any of these symptoms develop after vaccination.
Who should not receive Influvac?+
Individuals with a known severe allergy to any component of Influvac or to previous influenza vaccines should not receive it. Persons who have experienced a severe reaction to a prior dose of this vaccine should also avoid further administration. Consultation with a healthcare provider is essential for anyone with underlying immunological concerns.
