About FLUZONE

It contains three strains of the influenza virus: HAEMAGGLUTININ-STRAIN B, HAEMAGGLUTININ-STRAIN A (H3N2), and HAEMAGGLUTININ-STRAIN A (H1N1). This vaccine is intended for individuals 6 months of age and older who are at risk of contracting the flu.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Prevents influenza caused by the included strains (HAEMAGGLUTININ-STRAIN B, HAEMAGGLUTININ-STRAIN A (H3N2), and HAEMAGGLUTININ-STRAIN A (H1N1))
• Reduces the risk of flu-related complications, such as pneumonia and bronchitis
• Helps prevent the spread of the flu to others

Active Ingredient & Action

FLUZONE contains inactivated influenza viruses, which stimulate the body's immune system to produce antibodies that fight the flu. The vaccine works by introducing a small, harmless piece of the virus to the body, allowing the immune system to recognize and attack it. This helps to build immunity and protect against future infections.
