Intradermal means "within the skin". It is administered with an ultra thin and short needle (90% smaller than IM needles) between the layers of the skin using what is called a microinjection system.
Ingredients:
Fluzone, Fluzone High-Dose, and Fluzone Intradermal from Sanofi Pateur, Inc.:
Egg Protein, Formaldehyde or Formalin, Gelatin, Octoxinol-9 (Triton X-100), Thimerosal (only in multidose containers).
Sanofi Pasteur is making the ID vaccine also under the name Intanza or ID flu for the Northern Hemisphere outside the US. It is available in 40 countries during the 2011-2012 flu season, including Australia, Canada and some European Countries. In the Southern Hemisphere it is marketed under the name Instivac.

It is also trivalent and includes vaccine for the same three types of influenza for the 2011-2012 flu season. Fluvirin uses Neomycin and Polymyxin B during manufacturing instead of formaldehyde.Ingredients:
Fluvirin from Novartis:
Beta-Propiolactone , Egg Protein, Neomycin, Polymyxin B, Polyoxyethylene 9-10 Nonyl Phenol (Triton N-101, Octoxynol 9), Thimerosal (in the multidose containers), Thimerosal* (much smaller amounts in the single-dose syringes)
Both_Fluvirin_and_Fluzone:">Both Fluvirin and Fluzone:- Are trivalent vaccines (contain vaccine for 3 types of flu),
- Contain no preservatives in single dose vials,
- Are propagated in eggs, contain egg protein trace amounts (see more below in related links about egg content and egg Allergies),

What is the difference between vaccines and medications?
Vaccines prevent diseases, medications treat them.
What is the difference between vaccine and antibodies?
Salman Khaliq Bajwa from PAF-KIET damigo88@live.com The difference between antibodies and vaccines are; 1. Antibodies are micro organisms in our body for our defense. Vaccines are diluted living or dead antigens. 2. Antibodies are natural. Vaccines are artificial, 3. Antibodies kill the bacteria, viruses and toxic substances in our body. Vaccines does not kill but it actually activates the antibodies in our body.
What is the difference between vaccines and anitisera?
A vaccine protects against a future illness. An antiserum treats a current illness.
what is the difference between pro biotic and vaccines?
A pro biotic is designed to aid digestion. A vaccine is (usually) an injection to protect you against disease.
What is the difference between vaccine conjugate and Polysaccharide vaccine?
Vaccines use different types of vaccination technology - Polysaccharide and Conjugate are different types of technologies. It is generally considered that Conjugate vaccines provide superior long-term protection versus Polysaccharide vaccines because of the mechanism by which they create an antibody response. While polysaccharide vaccines may offer individual protection, they do not provide the same level of "herd immunity" (i.e. non-immunized individuals provided protection due to number of immunized individulas in community) provided by Conjugate vaccines.
What is the main difference between antibiotics and vaccines?
A drug, by definition, is any substance altering the physical or mental state of your body. That being said, an antibiotic is a drug, but in most cases, isn't harmful to the body as it is prescribed by a professional in the field.
What is the difference between nasal H1N1 vaccines and the injected H1N1 vaccines?
The only real difference is the medium that holds the virus in the vaccine, one is made for injection into muscles and the other is for using as a nasal mist. The current vaccination for H1N1/09 is available in both types of vaccines. The virus used in both vaccines is the same, except the nasal mist uses "live attenuated" viruses (they are still active whole viruses but have been treated to weaken them so they can not make an otherwise healthy person sick). The viruses in the vaccine for giving in a shot are totally inactive ("dead") or are just pieces of the virus particles instead of the whole viral organism, which also can not make you sick. See the related question below about which is better to use for your circumstances.
What is the difference between live vaccine and dead vaccine?
Vaccines are usually small amount of the disease you are trying to prevent. Introducing small amounts of the virus or bacteria, whether it is live or inactive, stimulate your immune system to strengthen its defenses against that germ.

Does the mmr vaccine cause autism?
MMR vaccines, as well as other vaccines, do not cause autism. Extensive research has been done into the relationship between autism and vaccines and none has been found. The doctor who originally reported a correlation has since retracted his statements, admitted his results were faked, and lost his medical license.
