As you may have heard or seen, the US drug agency, FDA, has approved First flu vaccine that can be used at home. In Europe it is called Fluenza Tetra and is from the same laboratory: AstraZeneca. In fact, it has begun used in schools for children up to four years old. The marketing emphasizes that this vaccine is made with a personal device that “offers a needle-free injection and more choice.”
It is that not the low rate of flu vaccine has inspired the discovery of this novel product. And the vaccine manufacturing companies are worried because since The covid pandemic, Seasonal vaccination rates, especially flu vaccines, are decreasingand even more among health workers. Why would it be?…
Fluenz Tetra is a vaccine to prevent the disease, according to its technical documentation. It is used in children and adolescents over 24 months and under 18 years, and contains four strains of the influenza virus. The first thing you need to know is that it is contraindicated for people allergic to eggs, because of the viruses that have been cultivated in said food. And if you have a weak immune system as a result of illness, medicine or other treatment, it cannot be used either.
Also, it cannot be combined in the body as well acetylsalicylic acid (A substance found in many drugs used to relieve pain and reduce fever – aspirinFor example). This is due to a very rare but serious disease (Reye’s disease).
Vaccine side effects
Fluenz Tetra is not suitable for children under 24 months because risk of adverse effects. If you suffer grave asthma or breathing current, you can’t use either. And if you are in close contact with someone who has a very strong immune system (for example, a patient with bone marrow that needs isolation), neither does it.
Fluenza Tetra not recommended for pregnant women or pregnant women. Well, like all medicines, this vaccine can cause side effects, although not everyone suffers from them.
In clinical studies with this product, most adverse effects were short and mild in nature, but some The damage can be significant. Very common (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people) are severe allergic reactions: symptoms of an allergic reaction may include difficulty breathing and swelling of the face or tongue.
Another possible adverse effect of Fluenza Tetra which are very common (they may affect more than 1 in 10 people), are: Runny nose or stuffy nose, reduced appetite and weakness. Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people): fever, muscle pain or headache. Uncommon (may affect up to 1 in 100 people): skin rash, nosebleeds and allergic reactions.
What is its effectiveness?
In five studies involved around 18,000 children up to 6 years old
age compared Fluenz to a placebo (lethal treatment) or with an injectable flu vaccine that contains inactivated (killed) viral material. Well, according to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), in the first study Fluenz reduces flu cases by 45%. Doesn’t seem very effective then, wow.
Other supportive work shows that protection in children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years is comparable between Fluenz and the flu vaccine. Of course, this does not say much because Influenza vaccine effectiveness is constantly decliningand it is in question.
The doctor is retired Juan Gervasewas directly maintained for the year of “the flu vaccine is not valid“. Like explained throughout this article“The Cochrane Library has reviewed it, concluding without doubt about its lack of effectiveness. However, pressure is put on the population and health professionals to succeed vaccine mass. “Such anti-scientific theory -science -science and ethics.” I recommend reading it in full.
What has been said, low effectiveness, risks (some of which can be very serious), and above all ease of use to give a new health economic boost. I can’t help but remember that the product owner, AstraZenecaThe mess was well made when The Covid-19 pandemic is selling a vaccine that is causing countless deaths because of the thrombi it causes.
You have to be careful with products from the manufacturer…
