1. What is Flucelvax Tetra and what is it used for

Flucelvax Tetra is a vaccine against influenza. Flucelvax Tetra is prepared in cell cultures and therefore does not contain egg.

When a person receives the vaccine, the immune system (the body's natural defense system) will produce its own protection against the influenza virus. None of the components of the vaccine can cause influenza.

Flucelvax Tetra is used to prevent influenza in adults and children from 2 years of age.

The vaccine is directed against four strains of the influenza virus, following the recommendations of the World Health Organization for the 2024/2025 campaign.
