Authorised
This medicine is authorised for use in the European Union.

Overview

Foclivia is a vaccine used in adults to protect against flu when a ‘pandemic’ has been officially declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) or the European Union (EU). A flu pandemic occurs when a new type (strain) of flu virus 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. Foclivia would be given according to official recommendations.

Foclivia contains some parts of inactivated (killed) influenza (flu) virus. It contains a flu strain called A/Vietnam/1194/2004 (H5N1).
