The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has published its annual flu vaccine recommendations for the upcoming flu season.

"ACIP recommends annual flu vaccination for everyone 6 months and older. All  flu vaccines this season will be trivalent (three virus) vaccines and were updated from last season’s vaccines to provide optimal protection. Adults 65 years and older should receive an adjuvanted or higher dose flu vaccine, if available. Solid organ transplant recipients can get the high dose or adjuvanted flu vaccine"

"Solid organ transplant recipients aged 18 through 64 years who are receiving immunosuppressive medication regimens may receive either high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (HD-IIV3) or adjuvanted inactivated influenza vaccine (aIIV3) as acceptable options . ACIP recommends that adults aged ≥65 years preferentially receive any one of the following higher dose or adjuvanted influenza vaccines: trivalent high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (HD-IIV3), trivalent recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV3), or trivalent adjuvanted inactivated influenza vaccine (aIIV3).
