Mechanism of action

The trivalent seasonal influenza vaccine contains inactivated viral antigens from three influenza strains (typically two A subtypes and one B type) that are selected annually based on epidemiological predictions. Upon administration, these antigens trigger both humoral (antibody-mediated) and cellular immune responses, enabling the body to recognize and neutralize circulating influenza viruses before infection or reduce disease severity if infection occurs.
