Description
VAXIGRIP TETRA Vaccine is a crucial, prescription-only influenza (flu) vaccine available at Gathimaini Pharmacy in Thika, Kenya. It is a quadrivalent inactivated split virion vaccine, meaning it contains inactivated virus particles from four different influenza strains: typically two influenza A subtypes and two influenza B types. This comprehensive coverage helps provide broader protection against the circulating flu viruses for the upcoming season. VAXIGRIP TETRA is indicated for active immunization in adults, including pregnant women, and children from 6 months of age and older, to prevent influenza disease. Vaccination is administered as a 0.5 mL intramuscular injection, usually into the upper arm, and is recommended annually due to the evolving nature of influenza viruses. It can also offer passive protection to infants less than 6 months old born to vaccinated mothers.
