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

Supemtek Tetra is a vaccine for adults and children from 9 years of age. This vaccine helps protect you against influenza virus. Supemtek Tetra does not contain egg due to the technology used to produce it.

How Supemtek Tetra works

When a person receives Supemtek Tetra, the body's natural defenses (the immune system) produce protection against the influenza virus. None of the vaccine components can cause influenza.

As with all vaccines, Supemtek Tetra may not fully protect all people who are vaccinated.

When to administer the influenza vaccine

Influenza can spread very quickly.

  • It is caused by different types of influenza viruses that can change every year. That's why you may need to be vaccinated every year.
  • The risk of getting influenza increases during the cold months between October and March.
  • If you did not get vaccinated in the fall, it is still a good idea to get vaccinated even in the spring, since you are at risk of getting influenza until then.

Your doctor will recommend the best time for you to get vaccinated.
