Zydus Lifesciences is introducing a vaccine for protection against new strain of influenza virus. The company is introducing country's first flu protection quadrivalent influenza virus vaccine as per WHO recommended composition.
Zydus's Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza vaccine VaxiFlu-4 will offer seasonal protection against four new virus strains. A quadrivalent vaccine, by covering strains of both influenza A and influenza B, provides a broader protection and significantly reduces the risk of vaccine mismatch. The vaccine has been cleared by the Central Drug Laboratory (CDL).
VaxiFlu-4 is being marketed by Zydus Vaxxicare -a division of the group focussing on preventives. The Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza vaccine has been developed at the Vaccine Technology Centre (VTC) in Ahmedabad which has proven capabilities in researching, developing, and manufacturing of safe and efficacious vaccines.
Because of annual and occasional outbreaks, the control of influenza has become a major public health challenge. Annual Influenza (flu) vaccination is the best way to prevent flu and its potentially serious complications. Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses which spreads from person to person, mainly through airborne respiratory droplets generated from coughing and sneezing or direct contact with an infected surface or individual.
Zydus Lifesciences (formerly known as Cadila Healthcare), a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in India, operates as an integrated pharmaceutical company with business encompassing the entire value chain in the research, development, production, marketing and distribution of pharmaceutical products.
