Trivalent influenza vaccine

The trivalent influenza vaccine is a flu shot designed to protect against three different strains of the influenza virus. Each year, health experts select two influenza A strains and one B strain they expect will be most common during the flu season. By receiving this vaccine, your body produces antibodies that help prevent infection by these strains, reducing the risk of getting the flu and its complications. It's typically recommended for everyone aged six months and older, especially for those at higher risk of severe flu illness, such as the elderly or individuals with chronic health conditions.
