Flu Jabs are given by intramuscular injection normally into the arm you don't write with. For adults and children over 13 years it is a single dose injection. For children under 13 years who have not been previously vaccinated, a second dose is given after 4-6 weeks.
Jabs should not be given if you are allergic to hens eggs or are suffering from a fever.
The influenza viruses are constantly altering their structure. Every year the World Health Organisation recommends which strains the influenza vaccines should contain. This year the vaccines contain the A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)-like virus;
— an A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2)-like virus;
— a B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus
Imuvac is manufactured by Abbott.
