What is FLUVIRAL?
FLUVIRAL 15 MCG / 0.5 ML contains HAEMAGGLUTININ-STRAIN A (H3N2) : 15 MCG / 0.5 ML HAEMAGGLUTININ-STRAIN A (H1N1) : 15 MCG / 0.5 ML HAEMAGGLUTININ-STRAIN B : 15 MCG / 0.5 ML. It is listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database under DIN 02015986, held by ID BIOMEDICAL CORPORATION OF QUEBEC, supplied as SUSPENSION for INTRAMUSCULAR administration. Health Canada currently lists it as cancelled post market, status dated 23-Sep-2015. This Drug Identification Number is no longer authorized for sale in Canada, so Nexara does not supply it. The record is kept here because buyers still meet the number on old formularies, purchase orders and tender documents; Nexara can help identify an authorized alternative.
What is FLUVIRAL used for?
FLUVIRAL is indicated for active immunization of adults and children from 6 months of age against influenza disease caused by influenza virus types A and B contained in the vaccine.
Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.
Is there a generic Influenza, Inactivated, Whole Virus in Canada, and who makes it?
Every market authorization holder with a Canadian DIN for this molecule, and how many of their listings Health Canada currently shows as marketed.
2 holders have a Canadian DIN containing Influenza, Inactivated, Whole Virus, across 3 DINs, of which 1 are currently marketed. Marketed count is the number that matters: an approval that is not marketed cannot be bought.
| Market authorization holder | DINs | Marketed | Brand names | Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BGP PHARMA ULC | 1 | 1 | INFLUVAC | Sourceable in Canada |
| ID BIOMEDICAL CORPORATION OF QUEBEC | 2 | 0 | FLUVIRAL | No marketed DIN |
Health Canada’s Drug Product Database does not flag which listing is the originator and which are subsequent-entry products, so Nexara does not label them here. Interchangeability is determined provincially, not federally — confirm for your province before a formulary switch. Nexara can confirm which of these is actually obtainable, and on what lead time, per order.
How is it supplied and stored?
Pack configuration, storage class and the handling constraints that drive cold-chain planning. One DIN can cover more than one pack size, and the pack — not the DIN — is what gets priced, shipped and invoiced.
| Strength on the label | 15 MCG / 0.5 ML |
|---|---|
| Dosage form | SUSPENSION |
| Route | INTRAMUSCULAR |
| Pack configuration (monograph) | 5 mL vials holding 10 x 0.5 mL doses – pack size of 1vial |
| Storage | FLUVIRAL must be stored between 2°C and 8°C. Do not freeze. Discard if the vaccine has been frozen. Store in the original package in order to protect from light. Once entered, the multidose vial should be discarded after 28 days. |
Pack detail is kept as a regulatory record. This DIN is no longer authorized for sale in Canada, so Nexara does not quote this pack.

Health Canada record and identifiers
The regulatory facts straight from the Drug Product Database, plus every identifier form Nexara accepts on a purchase order. A DIN written without its leading zeros is the commonest reason an order line fails to match.

What can be used instead?
Alternatives on every axis a buyer actually considers — the same molecule in another presentation, the same class, an adjacent class, or a fixed-dose combination. Every row is led by the marketed DIN count, because that is what can be bought this week.
1 · Same molecule, other Canadian presentations
1 of 3 Canadian DINs for this molecule are currently marketed. Marketed products are listed first.

2 · Same class — other molecules in ATC J07BB
| Molecule | Canadian brands | DINs | Marketed | Sourceable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Influenza, Inactivated, Split Virus Or Surface Antigen | AFLURIA TETRA · AGRIFLU · AREPANRIX H5N1 · FLUAD · +18 more | 36 | 8 | Yes |
| Influenza, Inactivated, Whole Virus | FLUVIRAL · INFLUVAC | 3 | 1 | Yes |
| Influenza, Live Attenuated | FLUMIST · FLUMIST QUADRIVALENT | 2 | 1 | Yes |
A molecule with zero marketed DINs cannot be sourced domestically, however many approvals it holds — if one of these sits on a formulary or in an older protocol, that is the line to check.

Not clinical advice. These tables describe what can be supplied in Canada, not what should be prescribed. Substitution within or across classes is a prescriber and pharmacist decision, and interchangeability is determined provincially.
Can this still be bought in Canada?
No. This Drug Identification Number is cancelled post market in Health Canada's Drug Product Database, so the product is no longer authorized for sale in Canada and Nexara does not supply it. This page is kept as a regulatory record.

Ordering questions
Who can buy this from Nexara?
Licensed entities only. Nexara holds Health Canada establishment licence DEL 3-002896-A and ships only to a licensed address. Patients and unlicensed buyers are routed to a partner pharmacy.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes, set per product line and per pack multiple rather than on the order total, so you are never asked to buy a part-pack. The minimum for this line is confirmed with your quote.
What is the lead time?
Confirmed per order at quotation, and it depends on current stock position and whether the product is in shortage.
Why is there no price on this page?
Nexara quotes a delivered Canadian price per order, against a verified licence. Foreign list prices are published on incompatible bases and are not a guide to what any buyer can obtain here, so this page shows which markets list the molecule and on what basis, and nothing more.
Can Nexara supply this for a clinical trial?
Yes — comparator and background-therapy supply, including sourcing from other markets where a Canadian pack will not satisfy the protocol. Clinical trial supply.
