Indications & Clinical Uses

Influvac Tetra is a quadrivalent influenza vaccine used to prevent seasonal influenza caused by the four virus strains it contains.

  • Seasonal influenza: reduces the risk of infection with the four influenza virus strains included in the vaccine.
  • Children ≥6 months: provides active immunity against circulating influenza B strains.
  • Adults and elderly: helps prevent influenza‑related complications and hospitalisation.
  • High‑risk groups (e.g., chronic disease patients): lowers the likelihood of severe flu outcomes.
  • Healthcare workers: contributes to occupational health by reducing transmission risk.

How It Works

  • Influvac Tetra induces active immunity by presenting hemagglutinin and neuraminidase antigens from the four selected influenza virus strains to the immune system. This stimulates B‑cell production of strain‑specific antibodies and activates T‑cell responses, resulting in protective immunity that neutralises the virus upon exposure.

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 within 24‑48 hours.
  • Headache or malaise: general feeling of tiredness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Anaphylaxis: severe allergic reaction requiring immediate medical attention.
  • Guillain‑Barré syndrome: rare neurological disorder potentially triggered post‑vaccination.
  • High fever or seizures: especially in young children.
  • Myocarditis or pericarditis: inflammation of heart muscle or surrounding tissue.

Precautions & Warnings

Influvac Tetra should be administered with consideration of the following precautions.

  • Allergy assessment: avoid if known severe allergy to any vaccine component.
  • Prior severe reaction: defer vaccination in individuals who experienced a serious adverse event after a previous influenza vaccine.
  • Immunocompromised patients: vaccine may elicit a reduced immune response; consult healthcare provider.
  • Pregnancy: use only if the potential benefits outweigh uncertain risks, as safety data are limited.
  • Store at 2‑8 °C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Influvac Tetra has limited known drug interactions, but certain co‑administered therapies may affect its efficacy.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • None identified: no known drug interactions requiring avoidance.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Concurrent immunoglobulin therapy: may reduce vaccine immunogenicity; consider timing separation.
  • Antipyretics before vaccination: may blunt antibody response; use after vaccination if needed.
  • Live attenuated vaccines given within 4 weeks: monitor for potential immune interference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Influvac Tetra is a quadrivalent influenza vaccine designed to protect against seasonal flu caused by four specific influenza virus strains. It is administered to individuals six months of age and older to reduce the risk of infection, complications, and transmission of influenza.

The vaccine contains inactivated virus antigens that mimic the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase proteins of the targeted influenza strains. When injected, these antigens stimulate the immune system to produce specific antibodies and cellular responses, establishing immunity that can neutralise the real virus if encountered.

The prescribed dose of Influvac Tetra is determined by the treating healthcare professional based on age, health status, and local immunisation guidelines. Typically, a single intramuscular or subcutaneous injection is given each influenza season, but the exact regimen should be confirmed by the prescriber.

Safety data for Influvac Tetra in pregnancy are limited, and the product is classified as having an unknown pregnancy category. It may be administered if the potential benefits outweigh any theoretical risks. Breastfeeding is not contraindicated, but mothers should discuss vaccination with their healthcare provider.

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, cold‑chain shipping details, and necessary import documentation.

Influvac Tetra is a quadrivalent, inactivated vaccine covering two influenza A subtypes and two B lineages, offering broader protection than trivalent formulations. Compared with live‑attenuated nasal sprays, it is administered via injection and is suitable for a wider range of ages, including immunocompromised individuals.

The vaccine must be stored refrigerated at 2‑8 °C, protected from light, and must never be frozen or shaken. It should be kept in the original packaging until use to maintain potency and stability throughout the supply chain.

Influvac Tetra is supplied as a sterile injectable solution. It is given as a single intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, typically into the deltoid muscle of the upper arm or the anterolateral thigh in young children, by a qualified healthcare professional.

The most serious adverse events reported are severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, Guillain‑Barré syndrome, and rare cases of high fever or seizures, particularly in children. Immediate medical attention is required if any signs of a serious reaction appear after vaccination.

Individuals with a known severe allergy to any component of the vaccine, or those who have experienced a serious adverse reaction to a previous influenza vaccine, should not receive Influvac Tetra. Consultation with a healthcare provider is essential for anyone with uncertain medical history.
