Product Overview
About Aflunov
Aflunov is a vaccine. It consists of a suspension for injection that contains some parts (outer membranes) of the influenza (flu) virus strain called A/VietNam/1194/2004.
What it is used for
Aflunov was expected to be used in adults and the elderly to protect against flu caused by the H5N1 strain (type) of the influenza A virus.
Aflunov is a 'prepandemic' vaccine. This is a special type of vaccine that is intended to protect against a strain of flu that may cause a future pandemic.
A flu pandemic happens when a new strain of flu virus appears that can spread easily from person to person because people have no immunity (protection) against it.
A pandemic can affect most countries and regions around the world. Health experts are concerned that the next flu pandemic could be caused by the H5N1 strain of the virus.
Aflunov was expected to provide protection against this strain, so that it could be used before or during a flu pandemic.
