Fluviral

GSK1557482A is a thimerosal-free formulation of Fluviral, a trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) developed by GSK. It is an egg-derived, split-virion vaccine designed to provide active immunization against influenza virus subtypes A and B. This specific formulation was evaluated in pediatric populations (6 months to 3 years of age) to assess safety and immunogenicity at different dose levels (0.25 mL and 0.5 mL) compared to licensed vaccines like Vaxigrip or Fluzone. As a trivalent vaccine, it typically contains antigens from two influenza A strains (H1N1 and H3N2) and one influenza B strain, following WHO recommendations for the relevant season.
