The inactivated influenza vaccine is used to prevent seasonal flu, a viral illness caused by influenza viruses of types A and B. The vaccine contains inactivated influenza viruses that cannot cause the disease but stimulate the immune system to produce specific antibodies against influenza viruses.

The vaccine is administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously, usually annually, and is recommended for all individuals over 6 months of age, especially those in high-risk groups such as the elderly, pregnant women, individuals with chronic illnesses, and healthcare workers.

Common side effects include pain at the injection site, mild fever, fatigue, and muscle aches. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions may occur.

The inactivated influenza vaccine is an important preventive measure for reducing the incidence and severity of seasonal flu, helping to protect public health and alleviate the burden on healthcare systems.
