Audenz is used to prevent influenza disease caused by the H5N1 subtype of influenza A virus. It is approved for active immunization against H5N1 in adults 18 years and older and is intended for use during pandemic situations or outbreak preparedness.
Audenz is an adjuvanted vaccine that stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against the H5N1 virus. The adjuvant enhances the body's immune response to the antigen, potentially allowing for a lower dose of antigen while still achieving protective immunity.
Audenz is administered as a 2-dose series. Common side effects may include injection site reactions, headache, fatigue, and muscle aches. As with all vaccines, there is a risk of allergic reactions. This vaccine does not protect against other influenza strains such as seasonal H1N1 or H3N2.
