Trivalent Influenza Vaccine (Surface Antigen, Inactivated) (Influvac) may be given at the same time as other vaccines. Immunization should be carried out on separate limbs. It should be noted that the adverse reactions may be intensified.
The immunological response may be diminished if the patient/child is undergoing immunosuppressant treatment.
Following influenza vaccination; false positive results in serology tests using the ELISA method to detect antibodies against HIV1, Hepatitis C and especially HTLV1 have been observed. The Western Blot technique disproves the false-positive ELISA test results. The transient false-positive reactions could be due to the IgM response by the vaccine.
