What is Influenza Virus B/Austria/1359417/2021-Like Strain (B/Austria/1359417/2021, Bvr-26), Influenza A/Vic used for?

Influvac Sub‑Unit is indicated for the prevention of influenza caused by circulating influenza A and B viruses.

Seasonal influenza (A and B): reduces the incidence of laboratory‑confirmed influenza illness in vaccinated individuals. High‑risk groups (elderly, immunocompromised, chronic disease patients): lowers the risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and complications. Community outbreaks: contributes to herd immunity and helps limit spread of influenza within populations.

What are the side effects of Influenza Virus B/Austria/1359417/2021-Like Strain (B/Austria/1359417/2021, Bvr-26), Influenza A/Vic?

Influvac Sub‑Unit may be associated with a range of post‑vaccination reactions, most of which are mild and self‑limiting.

Common Side Effects: - Injection site pain: mild to moderate soreness at the injection site. - Redness or swelling: localized erythema or edema. - Low‑grade fever: temperature rise up to 38°C. - Headache: transient headache. - Myalgia: muscle aches. - Fatigue: general tiredness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Anaphylaxis: severe allergic reaction requiring immediate medical attention. - Guillain‑Barré syndrome: rare neurological disorder with muscle weakness. - Severe allergic reaction: urticaria, angioedema. - Seizures: infrequent neurologic events. - Thrombocytopenia: low platelet count. - Acute respiratory distress: rare respiratory compromise.

What precautions apply to Influenza Virus B/Austria/1359417/2021-Like Strain (B/Austria/1359417/2021, Bvr-26), Influenza A/Vic?

Before administering Influvac Sub‑Unit, healthcare professionals should observe the following precautions. - Allergy screening: avoid vaccination in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any vaccine component. - Pregnancy considerations: assess risk‑benefit and consult obstetric guidance before use in pregnant women. - Immunocompromised patients: vaccine may be less immunogenic; monitor response. - Acute febrile illness: defer vaccination until the patient has recovered. - Store at 2‑8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

What does Influenza Virus B/Austria/1359417/2021-Like Strain (B/Austria/1359417/2021, Bvr-26), Influenza A/Vic interact with?

Vaccination with Influvac Sub‑Unit may interact with other therapies; relevant interactions are listed below.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Live attenuated vaccines: concurrent administration may reduce efficacy of either vaccine. - Immunoglobulin therapy: passive antibodies can neutralise vaccine antigens, diminishing response. - Antiserum containing influenza antibodies: may interfere with active immunisation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antipyretic or analgesic use: may mask fever but does not affect immunogenicity. - Systemic corticosteroids: high‑dose steroids may blunt antibody production. - Other inactivated vaccines: can be co‑administered at separate sites with routine monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

What is Influvac Sub‑Unit used for?+
Influvac Sub‑Unit is a subunit influenza vaccine indicated to prevent infection caused by influenza A and influenza B viruses. It is used in seasonal vaccination programmes to reduce the risk of flu illness, complications, and transmission in the general population and in high‑risk groups.
How does the active ingredient in Influvac Sub‑Unit work?+
The vaccine contains purified surface antigens from the influenza B/Austria/2021‑like strain and the influenza A/Vic strain. When injected, these antigens are processed by antigen‑presenting cells, which activate T‑cells and stimulate B‑cells to produce strain‑specific neutralising antibodies, establishing protective immunity against the targeted viruses.
What is the usual dose of Influvac Sub‑Unit?+
The dosing regimen for Influvac Sub‑Unit is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, a single intramuscular (or subcutaneous) injection is administered for each influenza season, but the exact volume and schedule are set according to local guidelines and patient characteristics.
Is Influvac Sub‑Unit safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Influvac Sub‑Unit in pregnant or lactating women are limited. The vaccine should only be used when the potential benefits outweigh any theoretical risks. Healthcare providers should discuss individual circumstances with the patient and follow local obstetric recommendations.
How do I order Influvac Sub‑Unit from GNH USA?+
To order Influvac Sub‑Unit, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, cold‑chain shipping options and necessary import documentation.
How does Influvac Sub‑Unit compare with other influenza vaccines?+
Influvac Sub‑Unit is a subunit vaccine that contains only purified viral proteins, which generally results in lower reactogenicity compared with whole‑virus or split‑virus vaccines. While efficacy is comparable when matched to circulating strains, the safety profile may be more favorable for individuals concerned about injection‑site reactions.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Influvac Sub‑Unit?+
Influvac Sub‑Unit must be stored refrigerated at 2‑8 °C. Keep the vials in their original packaging, protect them from light, and avoid freezing or shaking. If the product is exposed to temperatures outside this range, it should be discarded according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
How is Influvac Sub‑Unit administered?+
The vaccine is given as a single intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, most commonly into the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. Administration is performed by a qualified healthcare professional using aseptic technique and the appropriate needle size for the chosen route.
What are the most serious risks associated with Influvac Sub‑Unit?+
The most serious adverse events reported are severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, Guillain‑Barré syndrome, and rare cases of acute respiratory distress. Patients should be observed for at least 15 minutes after vaccination, and any signs of a severe reaction require immediate medical attention.
Who should not receive Influvac Sub‑Unit?+
Individuals with a known severe allergy to any component of the vaccine, or those who have experienced a serious reaction to a previous influenza vaccine, should not receive Influvac Sub‑Unit. Persons with active, uncontrolled febrile illness should defer vaccination until recovery.
