Indications & Clinical Uses

Influvac Tetra is a quadrivalent influenza vaccine used to prevent influenza infection caused by specific virus strains.

  • Prevention of influenza infection caused by influenza virus B/Phuket/3073/2013‑like strain: reduces the risk of illness in vaccinated individuals.
  • Prevention of influenza infection caused by influenza virus B/Austria/1359417/202 strain: reduces the risk of illness in vaccinated individuals.
  • Seasonal influenza prevention: provides broader protection against circulating influenza viruses during the flu season.

How It Works

  • Influvac Tetra contains inactivated viral antigens from the designated influenza B strains. After intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, the antigens are taken up by antigen‑presenting cells, stimulating B‑cell and T‑cell responses that lead to the production of neutralizing antibodies against the hemagglutinin proteins of the target viruses, thereby conferring protective immunity.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Injection site pain: mild to moderate discomfort at the injection site.
  • Redness or swelling: localized erythema or edema.
  • Low‑grade fever: transient temperature rise.
  • Headache: mild headache within 24‑48 hours.
  • Myalgia: muscle aches or soreness.
  • Fatigue: temporary tiredness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Anaphylaxis: severe allergic reaction requiring immediate medical attention.
  • Guillain‑Barré syndrome: rare neurological disorder.
  • Severe allergic reaction: hives, swelling of face or throat.
  • High fever: temperature >39°C persisting more than 48 hours.
  • Seizures: rare convulsive episodes.
  • Acute respiratory distress: difficulty breathing post‑vaccination.

Precautions & Warnings

Before administering Influvac Tetra, consider the following precautions:

  • Severe allergy: avoid in persons with known hypersensitivity to any vaccine component.
  • Pregnancy: consult a healthcare provider; vaccination may be given if benefits outweigh potential risks.
  • Immunocompromised patients: vaccine may be less effective; assess individual benefit.
  • Age restriction: not recommended for children younger than 6 months.
  • Acute illness: defer vaccination if the individual has moderate or severe fever or infection.
  • Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Influvac Tetra may interact with other medicines or vaccines as follows:

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Live attenuated vaccines: avoid co‑administration with live influenza vaccines.
  • Immunoglobulin therapy: may reduce vaccine efficacy if given concurrently.
  • Antiviral agents (e.g., oseltamivir) within 48 hours: may interfere with immune response.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Other vaccines: can be administered at separate sites, monitor for additive local reactions.
  • Immunosuppressive drugs: may diminish antibody response; consider serologic testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Influvac Tetra is a quadrivalent influenza vaccine designed to protect against influenza infection caused by the B/Phuket/3073/2013‑like and B/Austria/1359417/202 virus strains. It is administered to individuals for whom seasonal flu vaccination is recommended, helping to reduce the incidence and severity of flu illness.

The vaccine contains inactivated antigens from the specified influenza B viruses. When injected, these antigens stimulate the immune system to produce neutralizing antibodies against the viral hemagglutinin proteins, establishing immunity that can prevent infection or lessen disease severity if exposure occurs.

The dosage and schedule of Influvac Tetra are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on age, health status, and local immunization guidelines. The prescriber will decide the appropriate volume and timing for each individual patient.

Safety data for Influvac Tetra in pregnancy are limited. Healthcare providers may consider vaccination if the potential benefits outweigh any theoretical risks. The vaccine is not known to be harmful during breastfeeding, but a clinician should be consulted before administration.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain logistics), and necessary import documentation.

Influvac Tetra is a quadrivalent vaccine that specifically includes the B/Phuket and B/Austria strains, offering protection against these circulating B lineages. Compared with trivalent formulations, it provides broader coverage of influenza B viruses, which can be advantageous in seasons where both B lineages co‑circulate.

Influvac Tetra must be stored refrigerated at 2‑8 °C. It should be kept in its original packaging, protected from light, and must never be frozen or shaken. Proper cold‑chain management is essential to maintain vaccine potency until administration.

The vaccine is supplied as an injectable solution and is given by a trained healthcare professional via intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, typically in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. The injection site should be cleaned with an appropriate antiseptic before administration.

Serious adverse events are rare but can include anaphylaxis, Guillain‑Barré syndrome, severe allergic reactions, high fever, seizures, and acute respiratory distress. Any of these symptoms after vaccination require immediate medical evaluation.

Individuals with a known severe allergy to any component of the vaccine, those who have experienced a previous severe reaction to an influenza vaccine, children under 6 months of age, and persons with acute moderate or severe illness should not receive Influvac Tetra until evaluated by a healthcare professional.
