Recently, I read an article on mgr.farm about the announcement of a new flu vaccine for seniors, which is supposed to be much stronger. I think it's about the Efluelda Tetra, but I'm not sure.
"We will have such a high-dose flu vaccine in Poland from the 2024/2025 season and such vaccination provides additional protection than the standard dose. In the population that is vaccinated with a high-dose vaccine, which is 4 times stronger, there are 25 percent fewer cases of influenza. And most importantly, the reduction of the severe course of influenza, especially pneumonia – is as much as 64 percent," emphasizes Prof. Adam Antczak in the information provided to PAP. "
Is such a vaccine already available? If not, are there any similar ones with an increased dose for seniors? If it is not available, when will it be? If you don't know, could I ask you to contact the manufacturer and find out when it will be on the market?
