Adults >/= 65 years
ACIP recommends that adults aged ≥65 years
preferentially receive any one of the following:
High-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (HD-IIV3, ________
High-Dose)
Recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV3, _____)
Adjuvanted inactivated influenza vaccine (aIIV3, _______)
If none of these three vaccines is available at a
vaccination opportunity, then any other age-appropriate
influenza vaccine should be used
Fluzone
Flublok
Fluad
Persons with egg allergy
Studies indicate that egg allergic persons are not at increased risk of severe allergic reactions to egg-based influenza vaccines.
Any influenza vaccine that is otherwise appropriate for the
recipient’s age and health status (egg based or non-egg
based) can be administered to persons with egg allergy.
Egg allergy necessitates no additional safety measures for
influenza vaccination beyond those recommended for any
recipient of any vaccine

decreases
Everyone ages 6 months and older should get the 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine. This includes people who have received a COVID-19 vaccine before and people who have had COVID.
_________ – BioNTech or Moderna- mRNA vaccine
use the cells’ machinery to produce a harmless piece of what is called the spike protein. The spike protein is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19. After the protein piece is made, our cells break down the mRNA and remove it, leaving the body as
waste. our cells display the spike protein piece on their surface and the immune system recognizes the protein which triggers our immune system to produce antibodies and activate other immune cells to
fight off what it thinks is an infection
Pfizer
_________ - protein subunit vaccine
contain pieces (proteins) of the virus that causes COVID-19. These virus pieces are the spike protein. The vaccine also contains an adjuvant that helps the immune system respond to the spike protein in the future
Novavax
When are you up to date?
Ages 12 and above:
1 dose of the 2024–2025 Moderna COVID-19
vaccine OR
1 dose of the 2024–2025 Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19
