INFLUVAC SYRINGE 0.5ML INJ

Influvac is a vaccine used to protect against influenza, commonly known as the flu. It is administered via injection, typically in a 0.5 ml syringe. The primary use of Influvac is to prevent influenza virus infections, which can lead to severe respiratory illness, hospitalization, and even death, particularly in vulnerable populations such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with certain health conditions.

The vaccine works by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against the influenza virus, thereby providing immunity. Influvac is usually recommended for annual vaccination, as the influenza virus strains can change from year to year. It is particularly important for healthcare workers and those in close contact with high-risk individuals. Common side effects may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, and fatigue, but serious side effects are rare. Overall, Influvac plays a crucial role in public health by reducing the incidence and severity of influenza.
