Frequently asked questions

What is Influvac Sub-Unit Tetra used for?+
Influvac Sub-Unit Tetra is a quadrivalent subunit influenza vaccine indicated for the prevention of seasonal influenza caused by influenza virus types A and B. It is administered to individuals who are eligible for vaccination, including adults, elderly persons, and children six months of age and older.
How does the active ingredient work?+
The vaccine contains purified hemagglutinin proteins from four influenza virus strains. When injected, these antigens are recognized by the immune system, prompting B‑cells to produce strain‑specific antibodies and generating memory cells. This immune response provides protection against infection with the matching influenza viruses.
What is the usual dose of Influvac Sub-Unit Tetra?+
The prescribing clinician determines the dose. Typically, a single intramuscular (or subcutaneous) injection is given each influenza season, with an annual booster recommended to maintain protection against circulating strains.
Is Influvac Sub-Unit Tetra safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data in pregnant or breastfeeding individuals are limited. The vaccine should only be used if the potential benefits outweigh any uncertain risks, and the decision should be made in consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.
How do I order Influvac Sub-Unit Tetra from GNH USA?+

How does Influvac Sub-Unit Tetra compare with other influenza vaccines?+
Influvac Sub-Unit Tetra is a subunit vaccine that contains only purified hemagglutinin proteins, whereas split‑virion or whole‑virus vaccines contain additional viral components. Subunit vaccines often have a favorable safety profile with fewer reactogenicity issues, but immunogenicity is comparable when administered according to recommended schedules.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Influvac Sub-Unit Tetra?+
The vaccine must be stored refrigerated at 2 °C to 8 °C. It should be kept in the original packaging, protected from light, and must never be frozen or shaken. Proper cold‑chain management is essential to maintain potency.
How is Influvac Sub-Unit Tetra administered?+
The vaccine is given as a single intramuscular injection, usually into the deltoid muscle, or subcutaneously if intramuscular administration is not feasible. Administration is performed by a qualified healthcare professional following standard aseptic techniques.
What are the most serious risks associated with Influvac Sub-Unit Tetra?+
Serious adverse events are rare but may include anaphylaxis, Guillain‑Barré syndrome, high‑grade fever, and seizures. Any signs of severe allergic reaction or neurological symptoms after vaccination should prompt immediate medical evaluation.
Who should not receive Influvac Sub-Unit Tetra?+
Individuals with a known severe allergy to any component of the vaccine or who have experienced a serious hypersensitivity reaction after a previous dose should not be vaccinated. Persons with acute moderate or severe illness should defer vaccination until recovery.
