👉 The FDA Fluid, also known as the FluMEN Quadrivalent vaccine, is a live attenuated influenza vaccine designed to protect against four strains of influenza virus: A (driven by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices), B (driven by the Advisory Committee on Vaccines for Children), C (driven by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices), and D (a non-influenza virus). It works by introducing weakened forms of these viruses into the body, prompting an immune response that prepares the body to fight off actual influenza infections. The vaccine is typically administered in two doses, six months apart, and is approved for individuals aged 2 months through 64 years old. It's important to note that the FluMEN Quadrivalent is not recommended for pregnant women, individuals with certain medical conditions, or those who are immunocompromised due to its live viral nature.
