Zuvi Flu Suspension for Injection

Zuvi Flu Suspension for Injection is given as an injection into a muscle by a doctor or nurse. It is usually given just before the cold season when the flu virus begins to increase. It is administered as a single dose in most cases, with a second dose recommended for certain children under 9 years of age who have not previously been vaccinated. You should have the vaccination each year because different new strains of the flu virus emerge frequently and different vaccines are developed. It is also recommended for young children aged 6 months and above.

This vaccine can cause mild side effects, but it is better to get vaccinated than to become infected with the flu. The most common side effects include headache, muscle pain, weakness, tiredness, bruising, joint pain, sweating, shivering, and pain or swelling at the vaccination site. They do not normally last very long. Consult your doctor if any of the side effects persist or worry you.

Before having the injection, you should tell your doctor if you have an illness with a high temperature or if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a vaccine. Some other medicines may react with the flu vaccine, so talk to your doctor about other medications you are taking as well. As with any vaccine, vaccination may not fully protect everybody, although it will reduce the symptoms of the flu if you get it. It will not prevent illness from avian flu (bird flu) or a common cold. Consult your doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
