FluLaval is a brand of influenza virus vaccine (injectable).

FluLaval (influenza virus vaccine) is used to prevent infection caused by influenza virus. The vaccine is redeveloped each year to contain specific strains of inactivated (killed) flu virus that are recommended by public health officials for that year.

Influenza virus (commonly known as "the flu") is a serious disease caused by a virus. Influenza virus can spread from one person to another through small droplets of saliva that are expelled into the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The virus can also be passed through contact with objects the infected person has touched, such as a door handle or other surfaces.

FluLaval vaccine (flu shot) is a "killed virus" vaccine. FluLaval works by exposing you to a small dose of the virus, which helps your body to develop immunity to the disease. FluLaval vaccine will not treat an active infection that has already developed in the body.

FluLaval is for use in adults 18 years of age and older. FluLaval is not indicated for use in children.

Becoming infected with influenza is much more dangerous to your health than receiving FluLaval vaccine. Influenza causes thousands of deaths each year, and hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations. However, like any medicine, FluLaval can cause side effects but the risk of serious side effects is extremely low.

Like any vaccine, FluLaval may not provide protection from disease in every person. FluLaval will not prevent illness caused by avian flu ("bird flu").
