aTIV Vaccine

20th November 2018

PHE have produced a leaflet for patients explaining the reasons why the aTIV vaccine is the recommended vaccine for them.   It also explains why it is best to wait until supplies of the aTIV are available, rather than just having a QIV vaccine.

Hard copies can be ordered at: https://www.orderline.dh.gov.uk/ecom_dh/public/home.jsf?  Product number: 29012598B
