Influenza vaccine safety data - 5 years and older (standard vaccines)

Data on this page show the responses of individuals (or their parent/carer) aged 5 years and older who received a standard influenza vaccine and completed an AusVaxSafety survey sent in the days following vaccination.

Standard influenza vaccines currently in use in this age group include:

• Afluria® Quad
• Fluarix Tetra®
• Flucelvax® Quad
• FluQuadri®
• Influvac® Tetra

These data provide a profile of what to expect in the days following your child’s/your influenza vaccination and can assist in planning for vaccination.

AusVaxSafety's active vaccine safety surveillance system complements the enhanced safety surveillance activities of the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
