Description

Product Overview

Product Name: Vaxigrip®
Manufacturer: Sanofi
Type of Product: Inactivated Influenza Vaccine (Split Virion) I.P. This means it is a “flu shot” made from killed (inactivated) flu viruses that have been broken apart (split virion). Because the virus is dead, it cannot give you the flu, but it trains your immune system to recognize and fight the live virus if you are exposed to it.
Formula: NH 2025-2026 formula. This indicates it is formulated for the Northern Hemisphere (NH) flu season of 2025-2026, targeting the specific virus strains predicted by health authorities for that year.

What is in the Box?

Presentation: The box contains one single-dose prefilled syringe.
Volume: 0.5 ml of vaccine suspension.
Needle: The syringe comes with a needle already attached for immediate use by a medical professional.

How is it Used?

This is a prescription medical product designed for clinical use. Do not attempt to self-administer this vaccine. * Route of Administration: The box states it is for intramuscular (into the muscle) or subcutaneous (under the skin) use. * Typically, for adults and older children, it is injected directly into the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. * For infants and very young children, it is often injected into the anterolateral aspect of the thigh.

Preparation: A healthcare provider will typically shake the syringe gently before use to ensure the suspension is uniformly mixed, clean the injection site with an alcohol swab, and administer the dose.

What is it Used For?

Prevention of Influenza (Flu): It is used to protect adults and children against the influenza virus.
Timing: It is usually administered annually, ideally before the local flu season begins (often in autumn), as protection takes about two weeks to fully develop in the body.

Important Considerations

Storage: Vaccines like Vaxigrip must be strictly stored in a refrigerator (usually between 2°C and 8°C) and protected from light. They must never be frozen. If the cold chain is broken, the vaccine may become ineffective.
Allergies: People with severe egg allergies or previous severe allergic reactions to any flu vaccine should consult their doctor before getting the shot, as some trace elements might be present from the manufacturing process.
