Description
Vaxiflu vaccine helps protect against influenza (flu) by exposing the body to a small dose of inactivated proteins from the influenza virus, allowing the immune system to build immunity. It does not treat an existing flu infection. The vaccine is administered via intramuscular injection by a doctor or nurse.
This vaccine is especially important for the elderly or those with chronic health conditions such as diabetes, heart failure, kidney failure, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is also recommended for young children over six months old.
Possible mild side effects include headache, muscle pain, weakness, tiredness, bruising, joint pain, sweating, shivering, and pain or swelling at the injection site. These effects are typically short-lived. Consult your doctor if any side effects persist or cause concern.
Before receiving the injection, inform your doctor if you are unwell with a high temperature or have ever had a vaccine allergic reaction. Some other medications may interact with the flu vaccine, so discuss any other treatments you are receiving with your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor first.

Dosage
Overdose

Missed a Dose
If you have missed a dose of Vaxiflu vaccine, please consult your doctor. Your doctor will advise on the best time for you or your child to receive the vaccination.
Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Vaxiflu vaccine enhances immunity by introducing inactivated fragments of the influenza virus, primarily hemagglutinin, which stimulates antibody production. These antibodies neutralize the virus and reduce the risk of serious infections due to the influenza virus in future. Given the evolving nature of influenza strains, the vaccine is updated annually to match circulating viruses....
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- Tell your doctor about all medicines, supplements, or herbals you are currently taking or might take to avoid any possible interaction.
- If Vaxiflu vaccine is given at the same time as other vaccines, vaccination should be done on different limbs.
- The ability of the body to produce antibodies (proteins that protect the individual against infection caused by viruses) may be decreased if you or your child are using medicines that suppress the immune system....
