FLULAVAL safety information

 

In clinical trials, FLULAVAL 0.5 mL demonstrated a safety profile comparable to another trivalent influenza vaccine.1

Children aged 6 through 35 months

 

Safety data were obtained with FLULAVAL QUADRIVALENT in children aged 6 through 35 months. Data with FLULAVAL QUADRIVALENT are relevant to FLULAVAL because both vaccines are manufactured using the same process and have overlapping compositions.1

 

FLULAVAL QUADRIVALENT demonstrated a safety profile comparable to Fluzone Quadrivalent (Influenza Vaccine) in a clinical trial.
