Vaxigrip Tetra vaccination is a preventive measure designed to help the immune system develop protection against seasonal influenza. Manufactured in France, the vaccine is an inactivated split-virion formulation containing split components of the influenza virus. It stimulates an immune response without using live virus capable of replicating in the body. Vaccination is one of the measures used to prevent influenza and its complications. Suitability, age eligibility and the vaccination schedule are determined according to the current product information and individual medical indications.

Key features of Vaxigrip Tetra

Vaxigrip Tetra is a quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur in France. Quadrivalent means that, according to the product information, the vaccine contains antigens from two influenza A subtypes and two influenza B types.

After administration, the immune system recognises the viral antigens and develops a specific immune response. Because the vaccine is inactivated, it cannot cause influenza through replication of the vaccine virus.

Influenza vaccination is particularly important for people at increased risk of severe illness or complications

What to tell your healthcare professional before vaccination

Special preparation is generally not required. However, before administering Vaxigrip Tetra, the healthcare professional needs to know about factors that may affect vaccination safety.

Disclose any allergies to vaccine components, including possible trace amounts of egg proteins, neomycin, formaldehyde or octoxinol-9. Also mention any previous significant reactions to vaccination, bleeding or clotting disorders, and medicines that affect blood clotting. Tell the healthcare professional if you are pregnant or have chronic medical conditions.

Vaccination is generally postponed during an acute illness accompanied by fever until the condition improves. The final decision is made by the healthcare professional after assessing symptoms and potential contraindications.

Bring your vaccination record if available. You do not need to stop prescribed medication or arrange additional tests on your own before vaccination.

How to prepare for vaccination and what to expect

Special preparation for Vaxigrip Tetra vaccination is generally not required. Before your appointment, prepare information about previous vaccinations, allergic reactions, chronic conditions and medications you take. Bring your vaccination record if available. You do not need to arrange tests or stop prescribed medication on your own.

Before administering the vaccine, a healthcare professional assesses your health, checks for potential contraindications and confirms that the vaccine is appropriate for your age. The vaccine is then administered in accordance with the current product information, and the vaccination is recorded in your medical records. At the end of the appointment, you will receive advice on what to expect after vaccination and what to do if an adverse reaction occurs.

Frequently asked questions

Can Vaxigrip Tetra be administered with other vaccines?

In some cases, the vaccine can be administered during the same appointment as other vaccines. The decision depends on the combination of vaccines and individual medical considerations.

Can I get vaccinated if I have already had influenza this season?

Whether vaccination is appropriate depends on your health and the circumstances of the illness. Having had influenza does not necessarily provide protection against all viruses that may circulate during the season. Discuss your situation with a healthcare professional.

Might a child need more than one dose?

Yes. For some children, the number of doses depends on their age and previous influenza vaccination history. A healthcare professional will determine the appropriate schedule according to the current product information.

What reactions may occur after vaccination?

Possible reactions include pain, redness or swelling at the injection site, headache, muscle aches, fatigue or a temporary fever. These symptoms generally resolve on their own. Seek immediate medical attention if a severe reaction or signs of an allergy occur.

Does the vaccine protect against all respiratory infections?

No. Vaxigrip Tetra is intended to prevent influenza caused by the viruses whose antigens are included in the vaccine. It does not provide specific protection against other respiratory viruses that can also cause a runny nose, cough or fever.
