Frequently asked questions

What is Influvac Tetra used for?+
Influvac Tetra is a quadrivalent influenza vaccine designed to protect against seasonal flu caused by the influenza virus strains included in its formulation. It is administered to individuals to reduce the risk of infection, illness, and complications associated with influenza during the yearly flu season.
How does the active ingredient in Influvac Tetra work?+
The vaccine contains inactivated viral antigens from specific influenza B strains. After intramuscular injection, these antigens are recognized by the immune system, prompting antigen‑presenting cells to activate B‑cells and T‑cells. This leads to the production of strain‑specific antibodies that can neutralise the virus if the person is later exposed.
What is the usual dose of Influvac Tetra?+
The dosage of Influvac Tetra is determined by a qualified healthcare professional. In most regions, a single intramuscular dose is administered annually to each eligible individual. The prescriber will consider age, health status, and local immunisation guidelines when deciding the exact regimen.
Is Influvac Tetra safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Influvac Tetra in pregnancy are limited, so the vaccine should only be given if the potential benefits outweigh any theoretical risks. Breastfeeding is not a contraindication, but mothers should discuss vaccination with their obstetrician or pediatrician to make an informed decision.

How does Influvac Tetra compare with other influenza vaccines?+
Influvac Tetra is a quadrivalent vaccine that includes two influenza B strains (B/Phuket/3073/2013‑Like and B/Austria/1359417/202) in addition to two influenza A strains, offering broader protection than trivalent formulations. Its safety profile and immunogenicity are comparable to other licensed quadrivalent vaccines, though specific strain composition may differ.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Influvac 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. Prior to administration, allow the vial to reach room temperature if required, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
How is Influvac Tetra administered?+
Influvac Tetra is given by a single intramuscular injection, typically into the deltoid muscle of the upper arm for adults or the anterolateral thigh for infants and young children. The injection is performed by a qualified healthcare professional using aseptic technique.
What are the most serious risks associated with Influvac Tetra?+
The most serious adverse events are rare and include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, Guillain‑Barré syndrome, and high‑grade fever that may require medical evaluation. Prompt medical attention is essential if any signs of a severe reaction appear after vaccination.
Who should not receive Influvac Tetra?+
Influvac Tetra should not be given to children younger than 6 months of age. Individuals with a known severe allergy to any component of the vaccine, especially egg proteins, or those who have experienced a previous severe reaction to an influenza vaccine should avoid it. Consultation with a healthcare provider is advised for any other concerns.
