Influenza vaccines are prescription medicines. They contain inactivated strains of influenza vaccine for the prevention of influenza Types A & B. Please read the brochure or consent form and talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist about the benefits and any possible side effects and check the Consumer Medicine Information [CMI] or data sheet of these vaccines at www.medsafe.govt.nz.
