Influenza Vaccines Available:
*All our Flu Vaccine is Preservative Free
Flulaval/Flularix– A Quadrivalent (four- component) flu vaccine is designed to protect against four different flu viruses; two influenza A viruses and two influenza B viruses. It’s licensed for age 6 months and up. For any baby/child getting their first flu shot it is recommended to get 2 shots, 1 month apart.
Fluzone High-Dose– A Quadrivalent (four-component) designed to protect against 2 influenza A viruses and 2 influenza B virus. It is licensed specifically for people 65 years and older. It contains four times the antigen (the part of the vaccine that helps your body build up protection against flu viruses) of standard-dose inactivated influenza vaccines. The higher dose of antigen in the vaccine is intended to give a better immune response, and therefore, better protection against flu.
Flublok Quadrivalent is a Quadrivalent (four-component) recombinant influenza vaccine that has been licensed by the FDA for use in adults 18 years and older. Flublock is an egg-free vaccine and has a higher dose of antigen then a regular dose, but not as much as the High Dose vaccine.
Flucelvax Quadrivalent is the only cell-based inactivated flu vaccine that has been licensed by the FDA for use in the United States. All four flu viruses used in the Flucelvax Quadrivalent are cell-derived, making the vaccine egg-free. Flucelvax Quadrivalent is licensed for use in people 6 months and older.
