agriflu

Agriflu is an inactivated trivalent influenza virus vaccine containing purified surface antigens of influenza viruses type A and B. It is indicated for active immunization to prevent disease caused by the specific influenza virus subtypes A and type B contained in the vaccine. The vaccine works by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against these viral strains, thereby providing protection against seasonal influenza. Agriflu is administered as an intramuscular injection and is approved for use in adults 18 years of age and older (in the US), though it has also been indicated for persons 6 months of age and older in some regions such as Canada. The composition of Agriflu changes annually based on recommendations from health authorities to match circulating strains[2][3][5][6].
