Frequently asked questions

What is Influvac Tetra used for?+
Influvac Tetra is an influenza vaccine designed to protect against influenza B virus strains. It is administered to individuals to reduce the risk of seasonal flu infection and its complications, particularly in populations at higher risk such as the elderly, young children, and those with chronic health conditions.
How does the active ingredient in Influvac Tetra work?+
The vaccine contains inactivated influenza B virus antigens that stimulate the immune system. When injected, these antigens trigger B‑cell and T‑cell responses, leading to the production of specific antibodies and memory cells that can recognize and neutralize the live virus if the person is exposed in the future.
What is the usual dose of Influvac Tetra?+
The dosage and administration schedule for Influvac Tetra are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on age, health status, and local immunization guidelines. The prescriber will decide the appropriate volume and timing for each individual patient.
Is Influvac Tetra safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Influvac Tetra in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Healthcare providers should evaluate the potential benefits and risks before vaccinating pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. In many regions, influenza vaccination is recommended during pregnancy to protect both mother and infant, but the decision should be made in consultation with a clinician.
How do I order Influvac Tetra from GNH USA?+

How does Influvac Tetra compare with other influenza vaccines?+
Influvac Tetra is a quadrivalent formulation that includes two influenza B strains, offering broader protection compared with trivalent vaccines that contain only one B strain. Its composition aligns with WHO recommendations for the current flu season, and it is administered intramuscularly like most other inactivated influenza vaccines.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Influvac Tetra?+
Influvac Tetra must be stored at 2‑8 °C (refrigerated) and protected from light. The vial should remain in its original packaging, should not be frozen, and must be gently inverted if mixing is required. Do not shake the product vigorously, as this could affect its stability.
How is Influvac Tetra administered?+
The vaccine is given by a single intramuscular injection, typically into the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. Administration is performed by a qualified healthcare professional using aseptic technique. The exact volume and needle size are determined by the prescriber based on patient age and body weight.
What are the most serious risks associated with Influvac Tetra?+
Serious adverse events are rare but may include anaphylaxis, Guillain‑Barré syndrome, and high‑grade fever lasting more than 48 hours. Any signs of severe allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or rapid heartbeat, require immediate medical attention.
Who should not receive Influvac Tetra?+
Individuals with a known severe allergy to any component of the vaccine, or who have experienced a previous severe reaction to an influenza vaccine, should not receive Influvac Tetra. Additionally, those with active moderate or severe febrile illness should defer vaccination until recovery.
