FluQuadri SH 2022 Vaccine helps protect you from influenza (flu) by exposing you to a small dose of the flu virus, which helps your body develop immunity against the disease. FluQuadri SH 2022 Vaccine is given as an injection into a muscle by a doctor or nurse. It is usually given just before the cold season when the flu virus begins to increase. Normally, only one injection is required to protect you for a year. You should have the vaccination each year because different new strains of the flu virus emerge frequently and different vaccines are developed. It is especially important to have this vaccine if you are elderly or have chronic health problems such as diabetes, heart failure, kidney failure, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is also recommended for young children over 6 months of age.
FluQuadri SH 2022 Vaccine is an inactivated vaccine (made from a dead virus). It helps develop immunity by forming antibodies, which are proteins that protect against infection caused by viruses present in the vaccine.
What is the ideal time to get vaccinated against influenza (flu)?
It's recommended to receive the flu vaccine at the beginning of the cold season, but you can get vaccinated at any time during this period. A single dose provides protection for a year.
Who should consider getting vaccinated against influenza?
The flu vaccine is particularly important for individuals at high risk of developing influenza, including children as young as 6 months old, pregnant women, and adults with weakened immunity due to chronic illnesses.
Is the FluQuadri SH 2022 Vaccine effective in preventing swine flu?
Yes, this vaccine is used to prevent symptoms of swine flu by introducing a small amount of the flu virus, which stimulates the production of antibodies that attack and help develop immunity against future infections.
How should FluQuadri SH 2022 Vaccine be stored?
The vaccine must be kept refrigerated at a temperature between 2°C to 8°C (35°F to 46°F) until it is used. This temperature requirement applies even during transportation.
How is FluQuadri SH 2022 Vaccine supplied?
The vaccine comes in various pack sizes and can be supplied with or without needles, packaged in a prefilled syringe with a plunger stopper and tip cap.
