Sanofi Pasteur Brings Fluzone® Intradermal Vaccine Coop De Quill VacciNation Tour To Baltimore Rite Aid To Raise Awareness About Importance Of Annual Flu Immunization And Vaccine Options For Adults

About Fluzone Intradermal Vaccine

Fluzone Intradermal vaccine, the only FDA-approved intradermal flu vaccine in the United States, is an inactivated influenza virus vaccine given to people 18 through 64 years of age for active immunization against influenza disease caused by influenza virus subtypes A and type B contained in the vaccine.

The Fluzone Intradermal vaccine needle is an ultra-thin microneedle that is 90 percent smaller and only goes as deep as the skin's surface to help protect against the flu.  Smaller than a grain of rice, the microneedle is only 1.5mm long, which is about the same as the thickness of a U.S. penny.

Vaccination with Fluzone Intradermal vaccine may not protect all individuals.
