I read a lot of controversial opinions on this drug, against the flu. Each coin has two sides, and so does this vaccine. It helps, but only for the flu. Not from ARVI, pharyngitis, ARI - it will not save. All this has nothing to do with this vaccine. Many people doubt why the vaccine should be done if I get sick anyway. Yes, you can hardly protect yourself from colds, you can not get away from snot and cough. But the main disease, which can lead to fatal complications, will be avoided. So away doubt, go and create a barrier against the flu.

Since 2006, the Grippol Plus vaccine has been included in the routine immunization schedule. In 2009, it was allowed to be used on children, and since 2014 it has been used for vaccine prevention of pregnant women.

Let's find out what kind of vaccine it is, how it is used, is it tolerated, does it have side effects, can there be an allergy after application? How does Grippol Plus interact with other drugs, and does it have analogues? Below we describe the instructions for the use of "Grippol Plus" in accessible language.

Vaccine characteristics

"Grippol" differs in that it contains the immunoadjuvant polyoxidonium, which has the property of binding to influenza viral antigens.

Grippol Plus is an improved inactivated influenza vaccine called Grippol. What are the differences between Grippol and Grippol Plus? The vaccine "Grippol Plus" does not contain a preservative, so it can even be used by pregnant women and children.

The manufacturer of Grippol Plus is the Russian NPO Petrovax Pharm. This pharmaceutical company holds exclusive rights to the vaccine. Registration number of the drug - LSZ-006981/08.

Grippol Plus is an inactivated influenza trivalent polymer-subunit vaccine. It contains antigens of influenza A and B viruses. The vaccine strain was grown on chicken embryos. The drug also contains an immunoadjuvant - azoximer bromide. Usually "Grippol plus" from swine flu contains one antigen of the influenza B virus and 2 antigens - strain A. The composition of the antigens of the drug changes annually depending on the current strain of the virus, according to WHO.

Composition of "Grippol plus" in 1 dose:

  • viral strain type A (H1N1), 5 μg;
  • virus strain A (H3N2), 5 μg;
  • viral strain type B, 5 μg;
  • polyoxidonium 500 mcg;
  • buffer solution 0.5 ml.

The immunogenic efficiency of Grippol Plus is 75–95%. That is, immunity is developed in so many vaccinated people. Influenza virus antibodies are produced after 1–2 weeks and persist for 12 months. Polyoxidonium, which is part of the preparation, enhances the immunogenicity (the ability to develop immunity) of the vaccine and the stability of antigens.

Release form and storage rules

The vaccine preparation is produced in dosage form- suspension, applied intramuscularly and subcutaneously. It is produced in disposable syringes with an atraumatic needle. The drug is also produced in ampoules and sealed vials. Packages are completed with 1, 5 or 10 syringes, ampoules or vials.

Storage conditions "Grippol plus" are as follows.

  1. The drug is transported at a temperature of 2–8 ° C in a closed container. Transportation at a temperature of 25 ° C is possible for no longer than 6 hours.
  2. Storage temperature 2-8 ° C.
  3. The vaccine must not be stored in the freezer. In case of violation temperature regime the drug should not be used.
  4. The shelf life of the drug is 1 year.

After the expiration date, the drug is not used. Do not use a drug with cracks in the vial or ampoule, as well as with a discolored vaccine.

How the Grippol Plus vaccine is used

Flu shots are given in September or October. At what age can the vaccine be used? - according to the instructions for the use of "Grippol plus", infants begin to vaccinate with this drug starting from 6 months.

The age dosage regimen is as follows.

  1. Children from 6 months to 3 years old are vaccinated twice. The second inoculation is given 3-4 weeks after the first injection at a dose of 0.25 ml intramuscularly into the anterolateral part of the thigh.
  2. "Grippol plus" is administered to a child from 3 years of age and adults as a single injection into the muscle or subcutaneously 0.5 ml into the upper outer part of the brachial muscle.
  3. Patients suffering from immunodeficiency diseases are given 2 vaccinations with a break of 3-4 weeks.

On the day of vaccination, the drug is kept at room temperature and shaken before administration. The ampoule and bottle are opened, observing the rules of sterility. When vaccinating young children, half the dose is squeezed out of the syringe, after which the remaining 0.25 ml of the vaccine is injected. The injection site is wiped with a cotton swab with alcohol. After opening the bottle, the drug is not stored.

Indications for use

Vaccination is indicated for adults and children for specific prophylaxis of seasonal and swine flu. Mandatory vaccinations according to the National Calendar make the contingent at an increased risk of infection and complications:

Elderly people are given vaccinations without age restrictions. This category of people is at risk of complicating the disease in case of influenza infection.

Vaccination of pregnant women

According to available research data, "Grippol Plus" does not have a harmful effect on the fetus and embryo. The vaccine is safe during pregnancy because it contains no preservatives.

Since 2014, this drug has been used to vaccinate pregnant women. However, on a case-by-case basis, the decision to vaccinate during pregnancy is discussed with the doctor based on the risk of contracting the flu and the potential for a reaction after vaccination.

The safer period for vaccination of a pregnant woman is the II and III trimester of gestation. The Grippol Plus vaccine can also be vaccinated during breastfeeding.

Contraindications

Delayed contraindications for the use of "Grippol Plus" are possible in the case of acute respiratory infections with fever. In this case, the vaccination is done 1 month after the infection. Aggravation chronic illness- this is also a reason to postpone the vaccination until remission.

Permanent contraindications for Grippol Plus:

  • allergy after the previous vaccination "Grippol plus";
  • individual intolerance to the vaccine or its components;
  • chicken protein allergy.

In the case of a mild intestinal disorder, the vaccination is postponed until the temperature returns to normal. Diseases nervous system and mental disorders are not a contraindication for vaccination.

Side effects

Grippol Plus is a highly purified product. The vaccine is well tolerated by children and adults. Most often, even local reactions do not occur after vaccination with the Grippol Plus vaccine.

According to the instructions for use of "Grippol Plus", the following side effects are allowed:

Some people are interested in the question of drinking alcohol after the Grippol Plus vaccination. The vaccine temporarily weakens the immune system as it forces the body to produce antibodies against the flu. Alcoholic drinks also reduce immunity. This unproductive "fellowship" suppresses the immune system and increases the risk of an allergic reaction. In addition, the presence of polyoxidonium in the composition of the vaccine preparation is a contraindication for alcohol consumption.

What to do before and after vaccination

For 3-4 days before vaccination, do not take new meals, as well as food allergens. Do not introduce new complementary foods to an infant. Avoid vitamin D, which is responsible for calcium production in the body, 4–5 days before vaccination. An imbalance in calcium increases the risk of an allergic reaction after vaccination. If you are prone to allergies, do not take "Suprastin" before and after vaccination - this drug dries out the mucous membrane respiratory tract, which promotes infection by viruses and bacteria. Instead of Suprastin, take Fenistil or Claritin.

On the day of vaccination, do not rush to leave the clinic immediately after vaccination. Sit near the vaccination room for another half hour. In case of complications, you will be quickly assisted.

Dangerous symptoms in case of immediate allergy:

If these signs appear, see your doctor immediately.

When you come home, do not wet the vaccination site. You can swim the next day, but you cannot rub the injection site. Eat light and low-calorie foods for 2-3 days after vaccination, and avoid foods containing allergens. These measures will reduce the risk of allergy after vaccination in susceptible individuals.

Interaction of "Grippol plus" with other drugs

Vaccination "Grippol Plus" can be combined with other inactivated and live vaccines, except for BCG and rabies. In this case, vaccinations are done in different parts of the body and with separate syringes.

The Grippol Plus vaccine can also be used during the treatment of a chronic illness with basic drugs.

Immunization of people with HIV infection and immunodeficiency states is not effective enough.

Analogs

Similar "Grippol Plus" vaccines are inactivated drugs against influenza of foreign and Russian production:

In all of the listed inactivated vaccines, the virus strains change annually according to the WHO recommendations.

In conclusion, we recall that "Grippol Plus" has been the official vaccine of the national vaccination calendar since 2006. It is a highly purified inactivated vaccine that is effective against influenza and is well tolerated. The drug does not contain preservatives and mercury. The Grippol Plus vaccine is harmless to children and pregnant women.

    And I was vaccinated with Grippol +. I endured it without any problems. No itching, swelling, or fever. So it's more of an individual response.

    • military personnel of compulsory and contract service;
    • employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
    • category of the population of retirement age (after 60);
    • doctors, teachers, employees of transport and utilities;
    • categories of the population that are susceptible to chronic diseases of the respiratory, cardiovascular, neuroendocrine systems;
    • employees of trading companies and catering establishments.

    There are no age restrictions for influenza vaccinations, since it is in old age that this disease can provoke severe complications.

    There are certain contraindications in which Grippol plus vaccination is delayed. These include colds, which are accompanied by a rise in temperature. In this case, the flu shot is given only 30 days after full recovery. If the patient has an exacerbation of any chronic disease, immunization is also tolerated.

    Grippol flu vaccination also has a number of permanent contraindications:

    • pronounced allergic reaction on a previous flu shot;
    • the presence of individual intolerance to the drug or its components;
    • severe allergy to eggs and chicken meat.

    2. The rise in body temperature to 37-38 ℃, which lasts for about 1-2 days.

    Allergic children who take Suprastin, before and after the Grippol injection, should replace the antihistamine. Suprastin dries the mucous membrane, opening access to pathogenic bacteria. It is better to temporarily switch to the reception of Claritin or Fenistil.

    After the Grippol plus vaccine is introduced, it is worth staying in the medical facility for a short while. This is to make sure there are no allergies or any complications that may require urgent medical attention.

    Seasonal incidence of influenza and ARVI is relevant for every person, regardless of gender, age and place of residence.

    The danger of influenza lies in the complications that arise against the background of the multiplication of the virus in the body.

    As a specific prophylaxis of this disease, a flu vaccine, influenza, was developed, which forms a stable anti-influenza immunity.

    Grippol vaccine

    In order to understand the full need for preventive measures, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the most common complications of seasonal viral diseases. Potential complications of influenza include:

    • Pathological changes in the mucous membrane of the nasopharynx (sinusitis, sinusitis, frontal sinusitis);
    • Inflammatory diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract. Against the background of influenza and SARS, it often occurs acute bronchitis, pneumonia and pleurisy;
    • Infectious and inflammatory heart disease. Often, viral diseases cause complications such as myocarditis, endocarditis and pericarditis. The progression of these complications leads to irreversible processes in the heart;
    • Purulent-inflammatory lesion of the middle ear (otitis media). This type of complication most often occurs in children of preschool and primary school age;
    • Kidney disease. Viral damage to the body is fraught with diseases such as glomerulonephritis and pyelonephritis;
    • Inflammatory lesions of large joints (arthritis);
    • Digestive disorders (nausea, vomiting, stool disorder).

    Types of prophylactic vaccines

    Influenza vaccines are conventionally classified into inactivated, attenuated, and live drugs. The inactivated type is designed for injection, and the live type is designed for spraying onto the mucous membrane of the nasal passages.

    An inactivated type of prophylactic agent is widely used to vaccinate adults and children. This type of drugs is conventionally divided into the following types:

    • Split... The preparation contains proteins of the destroyed influenza virus. The hallmark of split vaccines is high degree cleaning, which guarantees a mild effect on the body.
    • Whole viral... The preparations contain killed influenza viruses that have not been destroyed.
    • Subunit funds... Vaccines of this type carry the surface antigen of the virus, which is necessary for the formation of persistent anti-influenza immunity.

    Indications for vaccination

    The following categories of the population are subject to compulsory vaccination against the influenza virus:

    • Medical staff;
    • Elderly persons (over 60 years old);
    • Children over six months;
    • People who often suffer from respiratory viral diseases (more often 7 times a year);
    • Persons with chronic diseases of the cardiovascular and respiratory system;
    • Pupils of preschool and school institutions;
    • Service workers, trade, military personnel.

    Grippol vaccine

    This prophylactic agent belongs to the group of subunit influenza vaccines. High efficiency the drug is due to its composition. The conductor of the substance in the body is polyoxidonium, which has a detoxifying and antioxidant effect. A substance like polyoxidonium against influenza is used very often. Against the background of drug treatment, there is an improvement in the general condition of patients with a viral infection.

    Since the influenza virus can take on different variations, the antigenic structure of the influenza vaccine varies according to the epidemiological situation.
