Summary
Inactivated influenza vaccine (split virion) BP helps to protect you against influenza. Influenza is a viral infection that may have serious complications, particularly in some vulnerable groups of people. The active ingredients in this vaccine are three strains of killed influenza virus which the World Health Organisation has advised are going to be most common this year ( 2005/2006 ). This vaccine cannot give you influenza and will protect for one year. Influenza is a disease caused by many different types of virus and can spread rapidly, especially in homes or institutions where it is very easy to catch and spread the infection. The greatest risk of catching influenza is during the cold months between October and March. Influenza is present every year even when epidemics or outbreaks are not reported.
