Each year, different strains (new, slightly different versions of the virus) appear. Scientists predict which strains will be most likely for the coming year, and then these strains are used to make up the year's influenza vaccine. Each year's influenza vaccine contains 3 virus strains that are likely to circulate in Canada in the coming winter. The vaccine only provides protection against the strains of flu virus used to prepare the vaccine.
The vaccine increases a person's defenses against the influenza virus. It works by introducing very small amounts of parts of the virus into the body. This is enough to stimulate the production of antibodies (cells designed to attack that particular virus), which will remain in the body ready to attack that same virus in the future. The vaccine is used to prevent influenza for adults who want to reduce their chances of getting the flu.
Although the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) recommends annual vaccination for the majority of the population, this particular vaccine is not recommended for people under 18 years of age.
