Research and Markets: Agrippal (Seasonal Influenza Vaccine) Forecast and Market Analysis

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/nxczn2/agrippal) has announced the addition of GlobalData's new report "Agrippal (Seasonal Influenza Vaccine) Forecast and Market Analysis" to their offering.

Seasonal Influenza is a respiratory infection caused by influenza virus that results in mild to severe symptoms, such as fever, cold and cough. The market is heavily driven by the sales of prophylactic vaccine treatments to prevent infection. Currently, trivalent intramuscular vaccines such as Sanofi's Fluzone and Vaxigrip, GlaxoSmithKline's Fluarix and FluLaval and Novartis' Fluvirin garner the majority stake of the market. However, with the entrance of vaccines with novel routes of administration, such as AstraZeneca's intranasal FluMist and Sanofi's Fluzone IntraDermal, the authors project a dramatic shift favoring the adoption of such vaccines over the traditional intramuscular vaccines. The authors also anticipate that manufacturers that launch quadrivalent forulations will steal market share, patient share, and revenue from the trivalent influenza vaccines currently available.

Agrippal is a trivalent, inactivated influenza vaccine administered via intramuscular injection. It is indicated for the protection of recipients against subsequent infection from seasonal influenza. The viruses used in the vaccine are propagated in embryonated chicken eggs, collected via centrifugation and filtration, and inactivated with formaldehyde. The surface antigens (i.e., hemagglutinin, neuraminidase) are further purified via centrifugation. Agrippal is marketed by Novartis in over 50 countries, including the UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, and India.
