Vaxigrip Tetra

Vaxigrip Tetra is a quadrivalent influenza vaccine designed to protect against four flu strains. This inactivated vaccine is administered annually to reduce flu-related illness and complications. Ideal for seasonal flu prevention, it targets both influenza A and B viruses. Always consult a healthcare provider before use.

Vaxigrip Tetra is used to help prevent influenza (flu) caused by four different flu viruses: two influenza A viruses and two influenza B viruses. The vaccine works by exposing the body to small amounts of the flu virus, which triggers the immune system to produce antibodies. This helps protect against infection and reduces the severity of flu symptoms if exposure occurs. It is recommended for adults and children aged 6 months and older.

After receiving Vaxigrip Tetra, some individuals may experience mild effects at the injection site, such as redness, swelling, or soreness. General effects like low-grade fever, headache, or muscle aches may also occur. These reactions are typically temporary and resolve within a few days. Serious reactions are rare but should be reported to a healthcare provider.

Vaxigrip Tetra should not be used if you have a severe allergy to any ingredient in the vaccine, including eggs or egg products. Inform your healthcare provider if you have a fever or any illness at the time of vaccination. Keep the vaccine refrigerated and protect it from light until use. Always follow the recommended storage and handling guidelines.

Vaxigrip Tetra may interact with certain medications, such as immunosuppressants or blood thinners. If you are receiving treatment for a chronic condition or taking regular medications, discuss this with your healthcare provider before vaccination. Avoid receiving other vaccines at the same injection site on the same day. Always disclose your full medical history to ensure safe administration.
