IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not administer FLUAD or AFLURIA to anyone with a history of a severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to any component of the vaccine, including egg protein, or to a previous influenza vaccine.
Do not administer FLUCELVAX to anyone with a history of severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to any component of the vaccine.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
If Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) has occurred within 6 weeks of receipt of previous influenza vaccine, the decision to give FLUAD, FLUCELVAX, or AFLURIA should be based on careful consideration of the potential benefits and risks.
Appropriate medical treatment must be immediately available to manage potential anaphylactic reactions following administration of FLUAD, FLUCELVAX, or AFLURIA.
Syncope (fainting) may occur in association with administration of injectable vaccines. Procedures should be in place to avoid injury from fainting.
The immune response to FLUAD, FLUCELVAX, and AFLURIA in immunocompromised persons, including individuals receiving immunosuppressive therapy, may be lower than in immunocompetent individuals.
Vaccination with FLUAD, FLUCELVAX, or AFLURIA may not protect all vaccine recipients against influenza disease.
