Overview VaxiFlu 4 Vaccine

InfluenzaShield 4 provides protection against influenza. This vaccine introduces a weakened flu virus, stimulating your body's immune response. It doesn't treat existing infections. Administered intramuscularly by a healthcare professional, typically before flu season, a single yearly dose is usually sufficient. Annual vaccination is recommended due to the frequent emergence of new flu strains. High-risk individuals, including the elderly and those with chronic conditions like diabetes, heart or kidney failure, or COPD, should prioritize vaccination. It's also advised for children over six months. While mild side effects such as headache, muscle aches, fatigue, bruising, joint pain, sweating, chills, and injection site pain or swelling are possible, they're usually brief. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant medical attention. Inform your doctor of any fever, prior vaccine allergies, or current medications before vaccination, as interactions may occur. While not guaranteeing complete protection for everyone, InfluenzaShield 4 significantly reduces flu severity if infection occurs, but it won't prevent avian flu or the common cold. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their physician prior to vaccination.
