About this Medicine
Nasovac-S4 Vaccine is indicated for prevention of influenza (flu) in individuals 2 years of age and above. It works by exposing you to a small dose of the flu virus which helps your body to develop immunity against the disease. It will not treat an existing flu virus infection. Nasovac-S4 Vaccine is usually administered just before the cold season when the flu virus begins to increase. It is administered as a single-dose intranasal spray. The vaccine should be inspected visually for any foreign particulate matter and/or variation of physical aspects before administration. Discard the vaccine in case of any defects observed.The most common side effects of this medicine are nasal discomfort, sneezing, runny nose, chills, and facial swelling. It may also cause fever, headache, fatigue, sore throat, cough, wheezing, and nausea. These are usually mild and resolve on their own. However, if they persist or bother you, let your doctor know. Your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing them.Nasovac-S4 Vaccine should not be injected under any circumstances. Before receiving the vaccine, let your doctor know if you have any preexisting medical conditions or if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a vaccine. Vaccination should be postponed in people already suffering from cold, cough, fever, bodyache or other flu-like symptoms until their recovery. Ask your doctor for advice before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
