CSL, Ltd produces influenza vaccines for Australia, and for export to other countries. In some cases those vaccines are marketed - and re-labeled – by other companies.
The UK is among the importers of CSL’s flu vaccine, which earlier this year was been linked to a higher than normal incidence of febrile side effects in children under the age of five.
Pfizer markets the CSL vaccine under the name Enzira while CSL Biotherapies sells it as a generic influenza vaccine.
Doctors in the UK are being urged by the DOH to use the CSL/Pfizer vaccines for those over the age of five.
