Flu Year-Round: Vaccine Activities by Season

We break down your major flu activities – ordering flu vaccine, preparing for the season, vaccinating and treating patients – by when these activities occur within the year.

Spring

Order: Assess your flu vaccine utilization from the previous flu season and account for any unexpected business changes that may add or subtract from your current usage. Finalize your pre-book and submit.

Summer

Prepare: Select tentative dates for your Flu Vaccination Event and review your pre-book and make adjustments if necessary. Then order flu vaccination supplies.

Autumn

Vaccinate: Be ready to administer flu vaccines on request and finalize your Flu Vaccination Event dates after you have scheduled delivery of your vaccine to minimize the need to reschedule due to unexpected delays.

Winter

Treat: The CDC recommends continued flu vaccination efforts throughout the season though flu activity may not peak until February or March. The CDC will announce the strain composition for the upcoming flu season
It’s never too early to start planning next year’s flu pre-book.

New ACIP recommendations for patients 65+

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) now recommends that adults aged greater than or equal to 65 years preferentially receive any one of the following higher dose or adjuvanted influenza vaccines:

Quadrivalent high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (Fluzone® high-dose)
Quadrivalent recombinant influenza vaccine (FluBlok®)
Quadrivalent adjuvanted inactivated influenza vaccine (Fluad®)

If none of these three vaccines are available for vaccine administration, then any other age-appropriate influenza vaccine should be used.
