What is a flu vaccine for?
A flu vaccine prompts the body to build protection against the influenza viruses expected in the season. The composition of the vaccine changes every year according to the recommendations for the season, so vaccination is carried out once a year, before or at the beginning of the flu season.
The dose and number of doses for children are determined by age and previous vaccination, strictly according to the approved leaflet of the vaccine and the paediatrician's decision – this page does not give dosing recommendations.

What is available in Serbia?
The availability of flu vaccines for children depends on the season and procurement. For information about vaccinating your child, please contact your paediatrician or health centre – they know which vaccine is available in a given season and approved for your child's age.
| Option | What it is | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Your paediatrician / health centre | assessment and administration of vaccination | the first and most important step |
| Vaxigrip® trivalent (authorised 2025) | registered influenza vaccine, 0.5 mL syringe | age and dose are checked by the doctor according to the approved leaflet |

Pharmacist's advice
Do not obtain a flu vaccine for your child on your own – the paediatrician checks age, health and previous vaccination, and then decides on the vaccine and the number of doses.
After vaccination, stay briefly at the health facility for observation, and at home check your child's temperature from time to time.
