Two types of influenza vaccines are available at our clinic, Vaxigrip tetra (manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur) and Fluarix tetra (manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline). Both vaccines are effective against four types of influenza viruses (quadrivalent): two influenza A strains and two influenza B strains.
For children aged 6 months to 8 years, the first-year vaccination consists of two doses at a minimum interval of four weeks, while children aged 9 years and above receive one dose, regardless of previous vaccination history.

There are three types of influenza viruses: A, B, and C. Among these, types A and B are the most easily spread. Symptoms include fever (usually higher than 38°C), headache, malaise, myalgia, and joint pain, followed by upper respiratory symptoms such as coughs and runny nose, which typically resolve after about a week. These are the characteristic symptoms of influenza. Compared to the “common cold,” the symptoms are more severe.
Influenza viruses are most commonly transmitted through droplets from sneezing, coughing, or saliva from infected individuals. However, influenza can also spread through contact with contaminated surfaces. Therefore, it is important to practice “hand washing” and “gargling” as ways to prevent infection. Disinfecting with alcohol is also effective against influenza viruses, so be sure to use alcohol for disinfection if available.
Influenza viruses are also present in Indonesia, and there is a high likelihood that someone could bring the virus from countries vulnerable to infection during the winter season. Therefore, we recommend taking preventive measures to avoid contracting the influenza virus. One of the most effective ways to prevent or alleviate influenza symptoms if infected is through vaccination, so please consider getting vaccinated at the appropriate period for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any cases where a patient should not or is prohibited from receiving the influenza vaccine?
Influenza vaccine is not recommended for those who have a history of allergic reaction or severe adverse reaction towards previous influenza or other vaccinations, components of vaccine such as eggs, and people with moderate to severe acute disease. Sometimes people with egg allergies can be given the vaccine, but in that case they must be vaccinated at a well-equipped hospital, and they must be observed for 30 minutes afterwards.
How long does it take for antibodies to develop after the vaccine shot?
Once you get a flu vaccine, it takes up 10 to 14 days following vaccination before an immune response and protection develops. Optimal protection offered by the influenza vaccine lasts for 3–4 months following vaccination. It is recommended for people who live in northern hemisphere to get vaccination typically begins in September of each year and ends in December. For people who live in southern hemisphere, vaccination typically begins in April and ends in May. In Indonesia, Influenza vaccine can be given at anytime but it is recommended to be given starts in September-October.
How long does the antibodies continue until?
It depends on the brand of vaccine you receive, but the vaccine we offer lasts for one year. The vaccine is effective for one year, although the antibodies are said to be at their highest during the first six months after vaccination. Flu viruses change quickly. Last year’s vaccine may not be effective against this year’s viruses. Every year, new flu vaccines are released to keep up with the rapidly evolving flu viruses.
I heard that DYM offers two types of influenza vaccines, are there any differences between the two? [Vaxigrip tetra (made by Sanofi Pasteur) and Fluarix tetra (made by GlaxoSmithKline).]
The basic specifications are the same, including the age of those who can be vaccinated and the fact that it is effective against quadrivalent influenza viruses.
Is the influenza vaccine handled by DYM a live vaccine? Is it an inactivated vaccine?
It’s an inactivated vaccine
Can DYM prescribe Tamiflu?
Yes we can.
