مع أقتراب موعد مصل (لقاح الأنفلونزا) قد تم تعديل وترقية اللقاح ليصبح رباعي وهذه معلومات أولية عن اللقاح ولكن للأسف لأمريكا ولكن المعلومات تفيد الجميع

 


Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine


Brand names: AFLURIA Quadrivalent, Fluarix Quadrivalent, FluLaval Quadrivalent, Flucelvax Quadrivalent and Fluzone Quadrivalent, FluMist Quadrivalent

ما هو لقاح الانفلونزا الرباعي؟
تم تصميم لقاح الإنفلونزا رباعي التكافؤ للحماية من أربعة فيروسات مختلفة للإنفلونزا ، بما في ذلك اثنان من فيروسات الإنفلونزا النوعية إيه واثنان من فيروسات الإنفلونزا النوعية بي.


What is quadrivalent flu vaccine?


A quadrivalent influenza (flu) vaccine is designed to protect against four different flu viruses, including two influenza A viruses and two influenza B viruses.

Why was quadrivalent flu vaccine developed?
لماذا تم تطوير لقاح الأنفلونزا الرباعي


For many years, flu vaccines were designed to protect against three different flu viruses: an influenza A(H1N1) virus, an influenza A(H3N2) virus and one influenza B virus, even though there are two different lineages of B viruses that circulate during most seasons. Adding a B virus from the second lineage was done to give broader protection against circulating flu viruses.
Who can get quadrivalent flu vaccine?
من يمكن أن يأخذ لقاح الأنفلونزا رباعي التكافؤ؟


All flu vaccines in the United States for the 2021-2022 season are quadrivalent vaccines. Different vaccines are approved for different age groups. There is a quadrivalent flu shot that can be given to children as young as 6 months old. Flucelvax Quadrivalent is now approved for people 2 years and older. More information on approved flu vaccines for the 2020-2021 flu season, and age indications for each vaccine are available in CDC’s

الأشخاص العاديين من سن عامين إلى 49 سنة والمرأة غير الحامل يمكن أن تأخذ المصل بخاخ الأنف ولكن الأشخاص الذين يعانون من حالات مرضية معينة يجب أن لا يتعاطو اللقاح بخاخ الأنف

The quadrivalent nasal spray vaccine is approved for use in non-pregnant individuals, 2 years through 49 years old. People with certain medical conditions should not receive the nasal spray influenza vaccine.
Who shouldn’t get quadrivalent flu vaccine?
من الذي يجب أن لا يأخذ لقاح الأنفلونزا ؟


Different influenza (flu) vaccines are approved for use in people in different age groups. In addition, some vaccines are not recommended for certain groups of people. Factors that can determine a person’s suitability for vaccination, or vaccination with a particular vaccine, include a person’s age, health (current and past) and any allergies to flu vaccine or its components.




People who SHOULD NOT get a flu shot include:
Children younger than 6 months of age are too young to get a flu shot.
People with severe, life-threatening allergies to any ingredient in a flu vaccine (other than egg proteins) should not get that vaccine. This might include gelatin, antibiotics, or other ingredients.
People who have had a severe allergic reaction to a dose of influenza vaccine should not get that flu vaccine again and might not be able to receive other influenza vaccines. If you have had a severe allergic reaction to an influenza vaccine in the past, it is important to talk with your health care provider to help determine whether vaccination is appropriate for you.
Are any of the available flu vaccines recommended over the others?
هل يوجد لقاح يوصى به خير من أخر؟ بالطبع لا ولكن يوجد لقاح لا يصلح لأشخاص معينين بسبب حالات حساسية أو أمراض لديهم فيأخذ بديل مثل من لديهم حساسية من البيض


For the 2021-2022 flu season, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends annual influenza (flu) vaccination for everyone 6 months and older with any licensed, influenza vaccine that is appropriate for the recipient’s age and health status, including inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4), recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV4), or live attenuated nasal spray influenza vaccine (LAIV4) with no preference expressed for any one vaccine over another.

There are many vaccine options to choose from, but the most important thing is for all people 6 months and older to get a flu vaccine every year. If you have questions about which vaccine is best for you, talk to your doctor or other health care professional.
Are quadrivalent flu vaccines safe?
هل لقاح الأنفلونزا الرباعي آمن؟
بالتأكيد هو آمن مع الغالبية ولا يسبب الأنفلونزا لأن الفيروسات المستخدمه فيه ميته أو ضعيفة أو مصنعة بطريقة لا تتضمن فيروس الأنفلونزا

Yes. Flu vaccines that protect against four flu viruses have a safety profile similar to seasonal flu vaccines made to protect against three viruses, with similar—mostly mild—side effects. Like all seasonal flu vaccines, vaccines that protect against four flu viruses are monitored annually for their safety and effectiveness.

Quadrivalent vaccine cannot cause flu illness because they contain ‘inactivated’ (killed) virus, attenuated (weakened) virus, or are made using recombinant methods that don’t use flu virus in the manufacturing process.

Special Consideration Regarding Egg Allergy
من لديهم حساسية من البيض لابد أن يؤخذ ذلك في الأعتبار ويوجد أمصال تصلح لهم ولا تسبب آي حساسية


People with egg allergies can receive any licensed, recommended age-appropriate influenza vaccine (IIV4, RIV4, or LAIV4) that is otherwise appropriate. People who have a history of severe egg allergy (those who have had any symptom other than hives after exposure to egg) should be vaccinated in a medical setting, supervised by a health care provider who is able to recognize and manage severe allergic reactions. Two completely egg-free (ovalbumin-free) flu vaccine options are available: quadrivalent recombinant vaccine and quadrivalent cell-based vaccine.

الله المستعان ، الجرعة المحفزة أو المنشطة أو الجرعة الثالثة! آي كان الأسم أصبحت ضرورة ثم الآن التركيز على فايزر جرعة تنشيطية أو مودرنا نصف جرعة! ولا كلام على إسترازنكا



مع قدوم فصل الخريف والشتاء يتسابق العالم في محاولات مواجهة الأنفلونزا الموسمية التي يؤخذ لها لقاح والجرعة المنشطة أو الثالثة

(وليست الأخيرة) لكوفيد 19 ونحن في الموجة (التحور الرابع مو)

اللافت للنظر أن الجميع يأخذ إسرائيل التي تعتبر من أفضل دول العالم في موضوع اللقاح للمواطنين نموذجا يحتذى به حيث التجارب والإرشادات والملاحظات تخرج منها أولاً بل أمريكا تأخذ بقولهم!! والله المستعان ، ثم الملاحظة الثانية أنه تم الأعتراف رسمياً بأن اللقاح تقل فاعليته وقد تنعدم بعد ستة أشهر ، الملاحظة الثالثة هي أن الجرعة الثالثة أو ما يسمى بالتنشيطية تأخذ بالإعتبار أخطاء ونتائج العامين الماضيين ، فالجميع يحاول أن تكون الجرعة من فايزر كاملة أو نصف جرعة من موديرنا (لأن الأعراض للنصف الجرعة أقل) والأبتعاد عن أن تكون الجرعة المنشطة من أسترازنكا والملاحظة الأخيرة هي الجميع يخزن الللقاحات طبعا الدول الغنية ولا يلتفت إلى الدول الفقيرة! والله المستعان كذلك لا كلام على لقاحات الصين وغيرها من اللقاحات التي تكاد تكون معروفة إلا في

Government's vaccine advisory panel has recommended third doses be dished out to some 30million people
Plans approved on the back of real-world data in Israel and elsewhere suggesting immunity wanes in months
Britons who are eligible will be given Pfizer's vaccine or a half-dose of the Moderna vaccine


The Government’s vaccine advisory panel recommended a third dose for roughly 30million people aged 50 and over who received their second injection at least six months ago.



Members of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) approved the plans on the back of growing real-world data in Israel and elsewhere, as well as a major British study, which suggested vaccine-induced immunity wanes within months.




Britons who are eligible will be given the Pfizer vaccine in the first instance, no matter which jab they were originally immunised with. When there are supply constraints, the Moderna vaccine will be offered as a booster in the form of a half dose.

Officials said there was more evidence that the mRNA vaccines were safe and effective when given as a third dose, which is why they are not recommending AstraZeneca's.

Moderna's is being recommended as a half dose because the lower dosage is associated with fewer side effects and still produces a strong immune response, the JCVI said.

People who are invited for their booster Covid vaccine will be able to get their flu jab at the same time, in the opposite arm.














Professor Wei Shen Lim, of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, said the recommendation of at least a six-month gap between the second jab and a booster shot was an attempt to find an immunity 'sweet spot'.


'We want to suggest a six-month limit as a lower limit because we don’t want people to feel they need to rush to have this booster dose,' he told a Downing Street press conference.

'Getting a booster dose too early might mean getting a dose when they don’t actually need to have vaccination because they still have a high level of protection.

'And, as we have seen with the first and second dose, it may be that a longer interval to the third booster dose may actually be beneficial in the longer term.

'On the other hand, we don’t want to wait too long before offering a booster dose, so trying to find a sweet spot between going too soon and going too late we are suggesting that the booster dose is given no earlier than six months after the second dose.'




Professor Lim said it was preferable for people to get an mRNA vaccine as a booster — such as those made by Pfizer and Moderna — because there was more evidence compared to the AstraZeneca jabs that these are safe and effective.

He told the briefing: 'The AstraZeneca vaccine obviously is a very good vaccine for its primary cause.

'We’ve seen data that suggests that the mRNA vaccines given, whatever the primary cause for the vaccination is, gives a very good boost.
